Guest guest Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Are you taking b12 injections? May be a good remedy for the neurological symptoms progressing. Just a thought....

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Kim, thanks for the good thought. Still waiting for the B12 assessment to get back from the labs. Just ordered some Jarrow sublinguals, which in the mess of the starvation last year, I'd let run out. (What a time to let the B12 run out, eh?) However, as nearly as I can tell from reading, this one has more to do with just general starvation than with vitamins. . . . scary. xox > > Are you taking b12 injections?

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Keep us posted. You did get me thinking - have been having what I thought was restless legs at night. But its more of a tingling from the ball of the foot to the inner part of the leg - both sides. Feel it more at night - hopefully not related to A. Will get myself back on the b12 regimen too.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Something else you could look into ... almost 4 years ago, I started to develop tingling in my left foot across the top, outside ankle, up my calf about half way.  It extended a bit further as time went on, and then started to get really quite painful.  In speaking to my chiropractor, she thought I might have a disc compression and that I should have an MRI done to rule that out.  Suffice it to say, it took my family doctor a while to get to that step, continuing to say that xrays and ct scans didn't indicate a disc problem.  Once the MRI was done, sure enough I had significant compression between L4 and L5.  I had surgery 3 years ago, and no more pain  Instant relief... yay! kim in canada ________________________________ From: puddleriver13 <puddleriver13@...> achalasia Sent: Monday, March 19, 2012 12:42 AM Subject: Slimmers' Paralysis. . . .  Been having some peripheral neuropathy.
