RE: Re: Legs not right

[Guest guest]

Hi Kim,

Have you ever been tested by someone who makes orthotics? It is

sometimes overlooked by doctors who always search for the worst

possibility ( they have to, and they see the worst of symptomps every

day, so simple things are overlooked sometimes).

It helped me a lot. I had difficulty walking, I had tired legs all the

time, and sometimes I would lose balance while walking down the stairs.

It really helped a lot when I got good orthotics. It might not be the

whole solution to your problems, but if you don't already wear orthotics

it might do you any good.

You have to have them made to your feet and not the kind that anyone can

wear.

And your eyes? Were they tested too? Do you wear glasses, have they been

recently tested?

I'm just suggesting what helped me.

Very often when we have problems and illnesses it is not one thing but

many more. I believe western medicine overlooks a lot of things.

We don't take good care of ourselves. Even conscious people like we

around here, on this list, we forget sometimes that work is not

everything and play and exercise don't make up for lack of care.

Our bodies need constant attention..

Please forgive me if I say things you have already considered.

Hi Faith

I've been having problems with walking for over a year now; it's been

worsening steadily so I'm currently seeing a second neurologist and

going

through a battery of tests. It started out with my legs going numb

below my

knees, then losing control of my feet so I have difficulties walking.

It's

progressed to include frequent bouts of dizziness and light-headedness,

losing my balance and falling into walls and furniture, staggering as I

walk. I haven't fallen down steps yet, but have come close. The pain

is

still intermittent, fortunately, as long as I don't push myself too

hard.

It's the numbness and muscle weakness that bothers me the most, although

of

course the pain can be difficult to endure. So far the pain does

diminish

when I rest, so I've been able to avoid taking pain relievers which

throw

off my cranky digestive system. Walking is my main form of exercise, so

I

really hate having to walk shorter distances so I can get home again

before

I collapse.

I also have similar problems in my shoulders and hands; and my carpal

tunnels showed damage and will need surgery within the next year or two,

which isn't surprising at my age and as much as I use my hands in work

and

in my creative work. But since my shoulders and arms go numb in

addition to

my hands, and not always when I'm using my hands, so the the neurologist

is

concerned.

I don't have any pain Bee. My legs are just very stiff and I am not walking

right. It seems to start way up in my buttocks. I don't have it all the time

thank goodness. It is just something new and I am sure it will pass soon.

this?

==>What you are feeling in your legs is fibromalgia, which is simply

muscle fiber pain caused by candida. This is because candida toxins,

which are mostly alcohol, cause all body cells to go rigid, including

muscle cells, blood cells, etc. As you continue following the diet and

the rest of the candida program it will improve, but gradually. Do

ensure you are not consuming any sugars, fruits, grains, legumes, beans

or starches. Having any at all will cause more muscle pain within

hours.
