kathy, rogene, all: tingling in face

[Guest guest]

I am certainly perplexed by this. It started 3 months after

implanting and I've had it almost every day for about 2 years now.

I'm afraid that I may have some nerve damage. Along with the

infection problem, I really do believe I was highly allergic to some

of the chemicals in the implants.

See what you think about this. Right after explanting, my heart

palpitations acted up. Dr. Kolb had to administer a beta blocker

during recovery. After I got home, I started experiencing

electrical like burning zaps in my head and body. I experienced

tingling and pin pricking sensations in my arms, legs, face, even

down to fingers. I would wake up at night drenched in sweat, with

the muscle twitches going off in my arms and legs. The heart

palpitations abated two days after explant, and haven't returned. I

do get occasional skipped beats, but that is normal for me. The

other symptoms subsided after a month, and now I only seem to have

the tingling or crawly feelings in the left side of my face and neck.

Of all the things I have tried, I can say with surety that the sauna

is definitely the most helpful, epsom salt baths and the clay were

good too, but the sauna is a must for me to function. I am guessing

that the sauna is helping the blood flow open up and I know the heat

is healing to the connective tissues.

I have probably cut my sugar intake down by 60%. I don't purposely

use sugar, but I know the little devil is almost everywhere. I eat

organic about half the time, when I can find it. I am thinking

about adding the garlic again. I have done a few of the mild liver

flushes, and am looking for an open weekend (which never happens

with small children) to try the full flush.

I am trying to figure out if I should have a followup with a

neurologist and get a fresh opinion. Two years ago, it looked like

I was developing a pinched nerve in the c-spine area, although I was

told it wouldn't cause tingling in the facial area.

hugs,

I was wondering if you have ever tried Ginko Biloba. It is very

good for circulation. I have used Ginkold which is standardized and

I really like it. It is just a thought. Just know that it can have

a slight blood thinning effect so keep that in mind with anything

else you try. But it definitely improves circulation.
