Guest guest Posted April 24, 2001 Report Share Posted April 24, 2001 Hi Everyone- I was wondering if someone could explain this to me. A friend of mine experiences a sense of numbness and decreased strength in his right hand (his grip is so weak that if he squeezes with all of his strength, it would barely feel like he was trying) He experiences this on a fairly regular basis. He was also feeling numbness in his left quadracep although that is not happening to him currently. This has all been going on for a little less than a year. He is a 34 year old male who smokes, drinks alcohol and coffee, has a relatively poor diet and does not exercise regularly. He also has a decent amount of stress in his life. He did go for a check up a few months back and the Dr. didn't say too much as too what he thought was causing this and what he could do to get rid of it. Has anyone ever heard of such a thing or know what can be done about this...other than maybe taking better care of himself?

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2001 Report Share Posted November 25, 2001 In a message dated 11/25/2001 7:38:04 AM Eastern Standard Time, writes: In this movie they made the charcters with environmental illness look like people that are weak and bored and with little direction in life and fairly dead spiritually. It looks like they needed this illness to get attentsion and therefore they wished it on themselves. They need to be rescued. So it is all in their head and so not a "real" illness. This is one movie that YOU DO NOT want those that fight against us and the existance of this illness to see, for sure. It would be a huge set-back for all of us. Patti Patti, Thanks for sharing that information. Maybe we should make our own movie. Joanna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 25, 2001 Report Share Posted November 25, 2001 I am living with Environmental Illness. The movie was a little reminiscent of a place I stayed in Texas for a while which was an experience I'm likely never to forget. Those that do not have EI cannot even imagine the challenges of those enduring it. I turned on the movie for a few moments and found it slow and depressing..and not necessarily an accurate reflection... I then turned it off. Perhaps someday I'll be able to make my own movie regarding the controversy surrounding Multiple Chemical Sensitive also known as Environmental Illness. Now.. there are diagnostic tests (to my knowledge neurological and immunological) available through qualified physicians for documenting immune system dysfunction...which can then further explain results in anything from mild to severe chemical sensitivities.. The possibilities are endless for what happens to an organisms once it becomes injured. The understatement of the years is: The system needs enlightenment and change. mello5757@... writes: In a message dated 11/25/2001 7:38:04 AM Eastern Standard Time, writes: In this movie they made the charcters with environmental illness look like people that are weak and bored and with little direction in life and fairly dead spiritually.

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2001 Report Share Posted November 25, 2001 Does anyone know of any publishers who are interested in the books about the effects of toxic mold on people? I am a teacher and I have written a book about it and cannot find a publisher. PeeWee1015@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 27, 2002 Report Share Posted March 27, 2002 Bella: I live in Eagan, MN by St. and we saw Dr. G last Oct. 2001, and my four year old son is still non-verbal but doing better. E mail me privately if you have any questions on seeing Dr. Goldberg, it was worth our time and money and the long wait to get in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2004 Report Share Posted August 21, 2004 To Anita, I would listen to and possibly wait another year and see if the curve increases. If you are near a swimming pool- that could help with the pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 , Thank you for the good suggestions and info about paralysis preparation. Mariko, microspine seems pretty honest. They stated that my Thoracic10-11 surgery was NOT a candidate for laser surgery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
