Re: Mealtonin Emma & thx

[Guest guest]

Thanks for your kind words about nutrition and so on.

This is a difficult time for me right now.

Tuesday has just gone into hospital for her leg operation, surgery

is scheduled for 14-00 hours tomorrow (Wednesday).

I too am somewhat restricted in my movements right now. You might

remember that I had a horrid skin condition on the soles of my feet.

This flaky psoriasis like rash with pussy discharge has shown a

tendancy towards it resolution now. The " mush " started to become

waxy, then more solid like; thence crumbling.

Quite a lot of proper skin is now emerging.

That does not seem to be the end of the problem, my legs below the

knees are a bit numb, whilst reflexes (tested by my DR) are good at

the knee, reflexes are poor at the ankle and almost non existant on

the feet. I have lost a lot of muscle tone in the left leg, and I

have lost 4 inches of girth off my left thigh.

Dr thinks I have some sort of peripheral

neuropathy ...............the cause of which is quite unknown to

him, so I too have been refered to a neurologist.

One bright spot is my DR's admission that he recently attended a

lecture in London where one of the principal speakers was

Medwar ...............to cap it all my DR bought books by

Breggan!!!!!.

My Dr does not know what is wrong with me, fact is he has not seen

skin like mine ...............mind you my DR has pointed the finger

of blame towards my time on SSRI's and or the time on SSRI/SNRI with

bolted on Lithium & Neurontin.

Time will tell.

Time weighs heavy on me at this moment and I thank you girls again,

fact I thank this list for it's very existance.

God bless you all

xxooxx
