Guest guest Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Aren't all the auto-immune diseases (i.e. MS) related to Vit D3 deficiency? (thus, no MS south of the equator) (:-) RR. vague paresthesiasHi all:53 year old male, 10+ years of bilateral foot "numbish" feelings. Denies diabetes, has had workups apparently. Fingers have been tingling lately, and has been waking after 2 hours sleep with chin and "sides" tingling. No known exposures to heavy metals, toxic chemicals. No noted back or neck pain. I didn't ask about family history.I just did a phone consult, he called requesting an MRI to find out what was wrong and I told him it would be multiple areas and that he may want to consult a neurologist first. Any ideas or referral recommendations?Thanks!Rod , DCTillamook Natural Health Center Rod: If he is a 53 year old male living in the Northwest I would be sure to rule out Multiple Sclerosis. Up to 90% of patients with MS with present with some degree of parestesia. If I was going to do any imaging I would like to se the brain, and the spinal cord in the cervical region. Other important diagnoses to consider are hypothyroidism (order TSH and free T4 to start) and B12 deficiency (alcohol use/abuse? diet? history of medications which block the absorption of B vitamins). We all think of diabetes when considering foot numbness but there are many other conditions which present with bilateral paresthesia. Additionally some latent infections will also have numbness. Hope that helps. Keep us posted. Sincerely: Dr. J Chlebowski 923 NE Couch St Portland, Oregon Drchrischlebowski.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Roni, Your TSH will be sensitive to the T3 in Armour, because it spikes the blood. You should expect your TSH to be quite a bit lower than on T4, before you feel comfortable. To keep the T4 and T3 in bounds on tests, be sure you stop taking the Armour at least a day before the next blood test. Chuck You wrote: > > > > I don't know if the following went through.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 I accidentally took my pill the morning of the test, and called my doctor's office to see if I should postpone it, and he said to go take it. I think I have to try someone else. Roni <>Just because something isn't seen doesn't mean it's not there<> > > > > I don't know if the following went through.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 I have had a double fusion and I can not really say how much it solved...I have spinal cord compression now so surgeons are out for me at least for awhile.... But my surgery was maybe 5 years ago... I know they are making progress in having genetic surgery that is much less invasive.. you might ask your surgeon if they know anything about how far they think that is away. But be careful about signing on to surgery..I think there are quite a few of us that have less that great results and a triple fusion in your neck is no simple thing.. I imagine that the more the disk that are bad are in the curve of your neck the more difficult the surgery will be... Also, if you have never had surgery before you need to know that many surgeons are pretty cold.. I guess they have to be or their level of confidence might be affected. bets wishes Tom In a message dated 4/16/2009 10:30:32 A.M.

Anyone familiar with this procedure and have some feedback?

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 Tightness of the throat is known as " catch in the throat " which arises from coconut oil with contains water residue & the oil spoils over time. This topic has come up many times on this list. Search the list archives for details. I would write to the manufacturer/supplier and complain. If the supplier is unwilling to send you replacement coconut oil, I would suggest changing suppliers and warning people on this list about that supplier's brand of coconut oil.

I started taking it 5 weeks ago for hypothyroidism and have been very dizzy and had headaches and a tightness in my throat since almost the first day. I have also become constipated. I have been putting it on my skin as it is very dry and it has made it dryer. I have also been putting it on my feet for athletes foot and it has made no difference. I have put on weight, generally don't have a weight problem ( I have cut calories to allow for the extra ones from the oil). I am really disapointed as I had hoped for the great results I have been reading about. I know I have the right oil as it smells like coconut and is 76 degree melt organic virgin oil. I would like to persevere but the dizzyness and headaches are to much to bear ( I suspect this is high blood pressure which I have never had before). Any insights into this would be greatly appreciated. > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 Amy, I believe, just turned 30 last month. Her daughter, Olivia, is 5 1/2 and her son, Phineas, is 3 1/2...if my calculations are correct (sorry, my brain is on temporary DUH). She was with her hubby, Will, for many years, and they were great together. Both meant the world to one another... I can definitely related to your attitude on the whole concept of giving to find a cure...this is the very reason I do not support most charities pertaining to cancer. All the money that is given to the cause, and it is not even clearly understood what leads to certain instances of cancer...nothing more than bullshit, a way to make certain pocketbooks fat. Yes, Amy had her " ducks in a row " and sought the best care for herself. Unfortunately, another brutal winter, bringing various illnesses into play, and it seriously sucks! I remain sad, but my feelings are turning to anger...right now, it's just multi-directional anger... Amy M. From: crmadoh <crmadoh@...> Subject: (unknown) Date: Friday, April 17, 2009, 10:05 AM My prayers go out to Amy and her family. I am a mother of a 16yr old daughter with sma type 2. I agree this is all bullshit, when my daughter was first diagnosed, the MDA doctor said, " That we are so close to a cure, that if someone was to pick a time to get sma, its now. " Okay well its 15yrs later and still nothing..... We stopped the MDA clinic....to me it was all bullshit. May I ask how old Amy was and her children? I didnt know her, but I keep updated with this website, and from what I read, she had all her ducks in a row.. I will miss her entries..... .
