Guest guest Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 Wow!!!!! Very interesting all of the studies and results, give me some hope for a cure one of these days. Thanks for sharing the info. Now, a couple of people mentioned cold feet, niacin & poor circulation. I take non flush nicacin 250 or 500 mg every night before I go to bed, have taken niacin on & off for th e last 15 years. I don't know that it has helped the circulation in my feet & legs but it is a vasodilator and I think is supposed to help lower cholesterol. I wear surgical support knee high stockings everyday and they help with the swelling and the circulation and discoloring of the feet. My feet & ankles still swell big time, I don't wear shoes anymore, but I do feel the stockings have helped the circulation because my feet don't turn blue black so quickly anymore. Your Dr can write a RX for surgical support stockings and maybe yur insurance will cover them, they are very expensive or you can find some on your own and buy them and try them. I order mine online from a place called comfort corner and get their brand because they are cheaper and still work good, they are anywhhere from 20 to 25 per pair. Take care all and hope we hear how Dale is doing soon. Donna HSP Ca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
