Guest guest Posted October 7, 1999 Report Share Posted October 7, 1999 Sharon, Do you take Diflucan? I have had a horrible time with Yeast, but not once did I have the female type yeast infection. And I used to get them all the time. But while on Diflucan I didn't. I was taking it once a week while on antibiotics. Hope you feel better soon, I know how annoying this can be, just one more yucky thing to deal with.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2001 Report Share Posted February 21, 2001 Debbie-FL -- It's time to see the neurologist. Talking with a knowledgeable doctor can only help your situation. Best wishes. Harper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 21, 2001 Report Share Posted February 21, 2001 I would suggest you go to the doctor also. My MIL used to shake really bad and they found out if was caused by overactive thyroid. Good luck.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2001 Report Share Posted February 21, 2001 Hi Debbie in FL, I do agree that you must see the neurologist. For me what stresses me out most & wears me out is not knowing what is going on. If you have something pinpointed, you know what options you have, denial wont help here & can only hurt. Just think how much better you will feel not having unidentified stress.....

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 Lack of Magnesium. see www.mgwater.com for starters or http://www.hippocrates.com.au/magnesium.html http://www.afibbers.org/magnesium.html http://www.afibbers.org/magnesium.html I have diagnoses of CFIDS and MVP plus a few others also. It is quite amazaing the amount of relief I get for spasms, brain and heart and pain from simple Magnesium and its cofactor, B6. mjh"The Basil Book"http://foxhillfarm.us/FireBasil/ Posted by: "Annie Brandt" anniebegood@... nutsiefagan Sat Sep 2, 2006 3:04 pm (PST) Hi,I was diagnosed with CFIDS in '92, MS in '94, Mitral Valve Prolapse in '95,Multiple Chemical Sensitivity in '97, advanced-stage breast cancer in '01,and adult-onset diabetes in '03. In each case, I have been able to controlsymptoms and progression through mostly natural means and a holisticapproach - very little meds. I am not yet on LDN, as my physician prescribed 50 mg Naltrexone, not LDN.I have been dividing it into 25 mg and taking it at around 4 pm. I justread, in one of the posts, the method of dissolving the pills and getting alow-dose out of that. I say all that to introduce myself in general, but I have a specificquestion. Lately, I have had severe leg, foot, and toe cramps at night,with some physical distortion of the foot and toe. Does anyone know whatthis might be from?Thanks,Annie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 Annie, That sounds exactly like low potassium. Have you been on a diuretic? > Lately, I have had severe leg, foot, and toe cramps at night, > with some physical distortion of the foot and toe.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 Hi Annie, Boy, you've had more than your fair share of problems!! If I read it correctly you're saying you've been taking 25mg at 4pm? If so that is too much too early for the effects we desire i.e. boosting endorphins. It needs to be only 3.0 to 4.5 mg taken between 9pm and 3am, although some would say 3am was too late. Looks like you've now discovered how to get the correct dosage but you still need to change the time you take it. Your cramps could result from taking 25mg at a time as some people find even going from 3.0 to 4.5mg can result in the same thing happening. If they still occur at 3.0 or 4.5mg you could try the soap 'trick' to hopefully relieve them.

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Hi Annie -- many people with CFIDS and Multiple Chemical Sensitivity(and also muscle spasms, and mitral valve prolapse) are finding out they have Lyme disease. You get that from being bitten by an infected tick. People either realize or don't realize they've been bitten. You can check a master symptom list for Lyme at www.anapsid.org, scroll down and click on Lyme Disease, then click on Master Symptoms to see whether you think you might match a bit of the symptoms listed. If so, you might consider getting a bloodtest for the Lyme bacteria and co-infections at any of the following labs: IGeneX in Palo Alto, CA (www.IGeneX.com, 800-832-3200); MDL, Mt Laurel, NJ (877-269-0090); NJ Labs, New Brunswick, NJ (732-249-0148). Western blot is the most accurate test for Lyme, not the ELISA, which can miss 30-40% of the time. If you test positive, you'll need antibiotics. You can email me at sfrobink@... if you wish to discuss. -- Robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
