Re: Thyroid testing with g.p./Podiatry

[Guest guest]

Hi Tracey,

Thankyou for your kind words.

Seeing a specilaist podiatrist for Vicky's feet was another one of those rainbow

moments for us. The podiatrist measured in exact degrees just how much her feet

and ankles deviated from the ideal 90degree position. He found her to have one

ankle 10degrees everted and the other ankle inverted, a functional limb length

difference on the left side, tonic muscles in the foot and ankle on the left

foot, hypotonic muscles on the right foot, 2 hypermobile joints in each foot,

the large toe joint was locked when standing and walking, mild knock knee. There

were a few other things, but, her mechanics were significantly contributing to

her fatigue and discomfort. The new, custom made orthotics were immediately

comfortable for Vicky.

There is a chiropractor attached to the practice and the podiatrist suggested

that Vicky see her - has long been saying that chiropractic intervention

helps the TST. We found even more out from the chiropractor who found that

Vicky's muscles were tonic down all of her left side and hypotonic down her

right side, she has virtually no reflexes, her ligaments in her ankles are

tight, her muscle across her chest are tight and her calve muscle were very

tight - this was due to the continual compensations she was having to make as a

result of her mechanical problems with her feet. The calf muscles have now

relaxed. The other good thing is that Vicky can now go to her dance/drama class

for 3 hours and be in bare feet - something she couldn't do before - the

podiatrist said that if you wear the orthotics for 70% of the time then the feet

develop a memory and they can stay in the right position for a while without the

orthotics.

All of this information I fed back to via Lily when we were last at

Advance and will assess her when we next go back. It may be that Vicky

could tolerate the ankle exercises we were doing better now that we have relaxed

the muscle in her legs and worked on extending the ligaments.

It is so wonderful to hear that Tash has been seizure free for so long.

Hi Tracey,

The reflexes I am talking about were the knee and ankle reflexes. According to

my research, these are spinal reflexes and the nerve message does not go to the

brain. A total lack of these reflexes indicates a disruption of nerves at the

spinal column and probably a lesion in the spinal cord. We addressed the

retained primitive reflexes with the INPP programme when Vicky was 5.

Vicky had a poor lumbar puncture at six weeks old when she had meningitis.

Problems with the spinal cord for Vicky would explain alot of things.

Yet more information to give , who I hope will be able to do something

about this.

That's just what I needed to hear Tracey! Thankyou.

Our children have been through so much. I think that they will be very grateful

as well that we their Mothers have persevered in not accepting the status quo.

Wishing you, Tash, your family and everyone on this lsit a very Happy New Year.
