Weird symptoms

[Guest guest]

I can certainly identify with this!

Yes I have those twitches too! I had them really bad

when I first stopped working, for over a year. No

doctor could tell me if they would go away or lessen

as I was taking better care of myself. I'm thinking I

will always have them. They have gotten better(I

still have them every day and night), but like the

Quest article says, they get worse again when I do too

much, or if I am emotionally stressed about something.

Someone else wrote about the burning feet, and

mentioned the sickly feeling. I was shocked to see

that in writing! That is what the burning does to me

every night, about 4 hours into my sleep. That is, if

I don't already have the burning when I first go to

bed. And it doesn't seem to matter if I have covers

on my feet or not. I read about a remedy in the

journal Peripheral Neuropathy, which is relatively

inexpensive and simple. Take a bottle of wintergreen

alcohol, crush 12 UNCOATED aspirin, and pour into the

alcohol. Shake untill aspirin is fully dissolved.

Apply to the burning area with a cotton ball.

Sometimes it is only a temporary solution, but other

times it is enough to take away that sick feeling and

let me get back to sleep. It feels so good when you

first apply it.

My mother first mentioned that her legs had " bugs

crawling under her skin " . I identified with that one

too(!), but I called it " ripples under my skin " . They

come and go with me, but they also tell me I've

overdone it.

I wish these things would happen at the time we're

overdoing it, so we could stop and rest. It seems

they only appear AFTER I've already overdone it. I've

been off work now for almost 2 years and still haven't

learned what " overdoing it " means for me.

I wear AFOs also, and yesterday was fitted for a

hearing aid due to a " neural loss of hearing " . I feel

like I'm falling apart, and I'm only 37!

This body is hardly an accurate representation of my

grand spirit within(not to be conceited, but I do feel

so much bolder inside). That's the thing that pisses

me off most, but at the same time, I recognize that my

spirit would probably have never gotten to feel as

substantial as it does without the challenges

presented by my body.

It's still frustrating.

Mold can cause puzzling symptoms that puzzle not only the patient but

the doctors they go to. This includes sore necks, rashes,

intolerance of bright light, loss of balance when standing up

quickly, and lots more. These are all described in Ritchie

Shoemaker's book, Desperation Medicine, and his use of a drug that

treats not only mold-caused conditioins, but fibromyalgia, Lyme

disease, and the effect of chronic neurotoxins. The book is written

in the first person, describing his search and discovery of a way to

help his patients. He is not a medical guru, looking for followers,

but a medical pioneer who gives papers at important conferences and

takes pains to explain how he arrived at his conclusions in the

course of working out the treatment he uses. Buy his book,

Desperation Medicine. It was published only three years ago in

paperback. Or look him up on Google.

He shares his protocol with other doctors and has established a

research center in Pocomoke City, Virginia, to develop ways of

treating victims of chronic neurotoxin-mediated diseases, many of

which are new because of the way the environment has been changed,

especially around bodies of water and big cities.
