Re: OT: MMS2 (was) mycoplasma and MMS1 or MMS2

Hi Lena,

I have problems with plantar fasciitis as I'm on my feet a lot--I stand up to paint as sitting doesn't work for me. I'm currently having Graston treatments (extremely painful, I must say) on the soles of my feet. I couldn't help noticing you mentioned tendons strengthening, so I wondered if you'd have any idea whether this might work for a condition like this. When I clicked on the link you recently posted, I ruled it out since it requires yet more standing. So I'm not sure how it would help, but thought I'd ask. I have inflammation everywhere, which I think is why I have pain everywhere that's so resistant to treatment.

Hi ,

I think any good model could replace the gym, except for, maybe, aerobics but perhaps it would even serve that. Sorry I misled you. I go to the gym for the indoor track, as walking in the raw, upstate November rain on uneven pavement wasn't working for me and I want the aerobics of an hour's brisk walking, and I just like a breeze whistling through my earrings when I get into my stride. I go with a friend who keeps me 'honest' about keeping routine. On my own, I'd tend to 'forget'. I'd love to swim, but the gym pool is loaded with chlorine and I just can't tolerate that anymore, plus I'd have to purchase a membership for that, while the 3x a week track access is free to 'seniors' (lordy, how did I get this old?)

I have an old Pilates machine that I got at the SPCA thrift shop for $15, which would do just about everything I could do at the gym, if I get tired of the routine I've got going now, but my gyrations on the WBV seem to be doing as much in less time. Major house and yardwork is no longer risky, as my muscle tone is better and my tendons are getting stronger. A fall-flare-created mycoplasma herx in wrists, hands and ankles slowed me down for a couple weeks, but they've recouped with the help of the WBV. Now that I'm healing some tendon damage from the uneven roads, I'm ready to do more elaborate moves on the WBV, and crank up its power.

When we take the Airstream on the road, I plan to take my platform with me this time, as it's a great exercise foundation for the rigors of touring and hiking.

Be well,

Hi Peggy, I've had plantar fasciitis and it's no fun! What worked for me was to scootch myself and my heel down toward the foot of the bed, with a small cushion under the ball of my foot to stretch the fascia while I slept. When I got up, I'd immediately do a runner's stretch to warm and ease the tightened fascia, and during the day, I'd be careful to wear supportive shoes and a simple $4 band (Walmart) that goes around the arch to keep those tendons curved up toward the arch. Standing on the balls of your feet, on a threshold or the edge of a step (facing the step) and lowering your heels gently several times a day helps, too. Do not go barefoot, except on sand. Then, careful monitoring of walking, to keep toned and fit but not to over-do, eventually ended the problem. (I was travelling and touring at the time, so this was definitely a challenge. I didn't have my platform with me at the time, so I don't know how that would have affected things, although a mycoplasma herx aggravated my achilles tendon recently, and the WBV seemed to help. It certainly didn't hurt.)Good luck. it takes time to get through fasciitis.Be well,LénaHi Lena, I have problems with plantar fasciitis as I'm on my feet a lot--I stand up to paint as sitting doesn't work for me.

Thanks, Lena. I'm not sure I'll ever get through, since I've had it since 1999. I know all the stretches and do them religiously. And I wear custom orthotics and have done so ever since this happened over a decade ago. But it still flares up badly when I stand at the easel for long periods. Especially if I've had to spend less time on my feet because of Lyme issues--then when I do get back to the easel, it's invariably a problem. Right now I'm stopping every hour to do periods of stretching, but it still feels like the bottoms of my feet are on fire.

I used to walk for exercise, as much as 5 miles a day. But since this happened I can no longer do that, not even on a cushioned treadmill. I work out on an elliptical and on a bike, neither of which causes any impact at all on the sole. And I do yoga. But when this flares up, it's really a drag.

Hi Peggy and Lena,

I also had plantar fascitis. I had custom orthotics made for my shoes by a

podiatrist. These really helped the foot pain until I became chemically

sensitive to plastics, then the pain got worse. I try to go barefoot as much as

I can in the summer because of the sensitivities to glues and plastics in my

shoes. It is such a conundrum because going barefoot doesn't support the

fascia. Since rifing Mycoplasma, and doing some photonic detox of plastics, I

am finally getting so that I can wear shoes again without a whole lot of pain.

Hi ,

I'm so sensitive to cold that I wear multiple layers even in summer. No way could I go barefoot without having a cold all the time. My custom orthotics are indispensable, and so far no problem with plastics. They seem to be covered with a fabric anyway, or something fabric-like, though is anything these days not an artificial substance? I'm wondering about getting a night splint. That's the one thing I've never tried. Well, that and Graston, which seems to be helping but I've had only one session and felt like I need to do Lamaze breathing just to get through it.

Hi Jim and Peggy,Thanks Jim, for reminding me about DMSO. I'd meant to mention that to Peggy. I didn't have it when i had plantar facsiitis, but when I had the tendonitis in my Achilles heel I rolled DMSO on a few times a day and it really sped up the healing process. When i put it on my wrist, however, a couple days later i began to peel like with a light sunburn. couldn't figure out what was going on until i remembered that i was using DMSO straight from the roll-on (99.7%). Since then, I've made my own mix of DMSO, CS, and aloe in small perfume roll-on bottles i get on eBay. That seems to be just as effective, without being so drying.Be well,LénaHi Peggy,Have you tried using DMSO for this? It is instant relief in a bottle, really!Jim>> Thanks, Lena.

I have no idea about that just to hug you and tell you my compassionnate friendly thoughts

Hi Peggy,Have you tried using DMSO for this? It is instant relief in a bottle, really!Jim>> Thanks, Lena. I'm not sure I'll ever get through, since I've had it since 1999. I know all the stretches and do them religiously. And I wear custom orthotics and have done so ever since this happened over a decade ago. But it still flares up badly when I stand at the easel for long periods. Especially if I've had to spend less time on my feet because of Lyme issues--then when I do get back to the easel, it's invariably a problem. Right now I'm stopping every hour to do periods of stretching, but it still feels like the bottoms of my feet are on fire.> > I used to walk for exercise, as much as 5 miles

a day. But since this happened I can no longer do that, not even on a cushioned treadmill. I work out on an elliptical and on a bike, neither of which causes any impact at all on the sole. And I do yoga. But when this flares up, it's really a drag. > > Peggy> > > Re: Re: OT: MMS2 (was) mycoplasma and MMS1 or MMS2> > > > Hi Peggy, > > > > I've had plantar fasciitis and it's no fun! What worked for me was to scootch myself and my heel down toward the foot of the bed, with a small cushion under the ball of my foot to stretch the fascia while I slept. When I

got up, I'd immediately do a runner's stretch to warm and ease the tightened fascia, and during the day, I'd be careful to wear supportive shoes and a simple $4 band (Walmart) that goes around the arch to keep those tendons curved up toward the arch. Standing on the balls of your feet, on a threshold or the edge of a step (facing the step) and lowering your heels gently several times a day helps, too. Do not go barefoot, except on sand. Then, careful monitoring of walking, to keep toned and fit but not to over-do, eventually ended the problem. (I was travelling and touring at the time, so this was definitely a challenge. I didn't have my platform with me at the time, so I don't know how that would have affected things, although a mycoplasma herx aggravated my achilles tendon recently, and the WBV seemed to help. It certainly didn't hurt.)> > > Good luck. it takes time to get through fasciitis.> > > Be
