Marta, Jo, and those who know- Question

April 11, 2006

Hey guys,

Aside from B12 deficiency, is there a deficiency Dsers have that can

cause a symptom of numbness and tingling in the hands and feet? I'm having

intermittent numbness and pins and needles in my feet and hands. I am becoming

concerned, at first thinking it was a reaction of claritin for itching and

hives

on my face.

Between the rash on my face and other problems, I'm wondering if maybe

my fibro isn't lupus like another doc suggested. It was ruled out by

elimination. But lately I read where when someone has had lupus long enough to

be

diagnosable they are really sick. Hopefully not, but seems like the itching and

rash is sunlight related. But then again it might just be from all the pollen

in the air. My sed rate was up but was explained away by anemia.

BTW, Thanks for the suggestions about the odor problem. Tom is trying to

find out who is the owner of the land next door and trying to get some of

this crap gone. I told Tom to take out the bait that the landlord had put down.

Will get some glue traps this weekend. I have one cat who is a good

hunter(if she just keeps the danged things outside when she gets them!!) And a

second

that is about 10 weeks old. Maybe he will learn from callie how to be a good

hunter. We're going to put it on the landlord to find the source if it isn't

gone in the AM. It is horrible. We are looking into finding a home in the

next 12 months. This house was never meant to be long term. Just somewhere

until we find a permanent house. We were in a bad situation with the people we

were renting from. What makes me mad is we were never offered the option to buy

the house we were in and I loved that house. This house is too expensive for

what it is and hopefully God will provide soon with a little help from us.
