Re: Far Infrared - Molly

[Guest guest]

Yes, Rogene - MS is a deterioration of the myelin sheathing of the nerve. That

demyelination impedes nerve conduction from the brain to other parts of the

body.

The demyelination shows up as white 'spots' in an MRI of the brain, or c-spine

(I had

both).

Peripheral neuropathy is not caused by MS, though. IT can be caused by

diabetes, or by

lupus... I have had peripheral neuropathy also - when I first was tested, I knew

I had bad

carpel tunnel. I was still in law school, and had so much pain I couldn't stand

it. I was

wearing braces all the time on my wrists. The neuro did 'nerve conduction'

tests and told

me that I had peripheral neuropathy in all my extremities! I didn't even have

foot pain

then, and I was stunned.

THen he had me go in for tests for MS. A brain scan, a c-spine scan, a spinal

tap...

And at the same time, a rheumatologist was telling me he thought I had either

lupus or

sjogrens,.

I can tell you that I was getting more and more freaked out.

I will look at 'far infrared' - there is just so much, it seems a bit

overwhelming. And our

finances are limited,. Would insurance cover anything like that? I am going to

have to

take it a step at a time. Changing my eating habits and some cleanse I want to

do first.

I appreciate the input and will look into it.
