: muscle twitches not going away

[Guest guest]

,

What kinds of tests did you have for MS and ALS? I've had MRI,

Nerve Conduction Study, EEG, all normal. I am debating about going

back for a follow up. I only saw the neurologist one time.

All I know for sure is I have a tin problem, and I'm not sure

how much is still in me. I have numbness in my left hand and left

foot every day; it feels like I'm wearing a prickly glove. I just

ordered the calmag, chelated magnesium and calcium, hope that will

help some. The b-12 under the tongue did nothing for me, am still

taking Alpha Lipoic Acid, fish oil, flax oil, etc as well as

chelated multivitamin.

I am drinking rice milk, trying to avoid flour products,etc,

sometimes that's hard living in the South, lol. I'm checking into a

gentle liver cleanse that sounds promising and am doing coffee

enemas about once a week. Have started walking some but really want

to be doing circuit training, so am still checking into that. I

really don't know what else to do. I'm not a very patient person

and it's really hard when you look fine on the outside but feel so

bad on the inside. Hard to get support.

> Beth, I am so sorry you are still going through this. I had this

same problem, I have told you. I was so worried it was ms for the

longest time. Thank God for Patty, she pulled me through with some

warm hearted messages at the time. And Crystal too with phone

calls .She was going through the same thing.

> I got worse after explant with the numbness in my left foot, had

me freaked out! if you went back around sept 2002 to about feb

2003 , and look at the posts you would see my messages are just like

yours. It has gotten better. Alot of things resemble this. Hormones

imbalance (like my thyroid meds not working, causing a fibro type

situation-leading to more aggressive medication treatments) toxins,

damage to nerves, magnesium or potassium imbalance, yeast. It may be

a number of things combined, but it got worse after explant, then

got better after some time. If it makes you feel better, my neuro

doc told me if it were MS, (and does not believe it is, or ever will

be) it would go in relapses , like every few months. Or worse case-

if I had the progressive Multiple sclerosis, it would not remain

only numbness in one foot for over 2 years, it would have went on to

more damaging things. Like most are crippled by that time with

progesssive. So the other types would not stay the same almost all

the time, you are supossed to have relapses , something I did not

have. The numbness was constant all the time. Worse in the morning

in my left foot. It was so bad at one point, I stepped on a tac, and

did not know it, until I heard the clacking on the wood floors! I

was so scared! I was tested by 4 tests, twice for ms and ALS!

> I hope that makes you feel better. I am better now! the numbness

is like only about 10% of what it was, and I know will be gone by

next year, or worse case, if nerve damage is done-the same, but no

worse. Keep detoxing, try to eliminate gluton products, or take a

gliadon antibody test, as celiac conditions will do this, and mimic

ms, and often come up (you become sensitive for a time) from surgery

or a stressful event. Yeast like candida can also cause this, so

take out all breads, peanuts and cheeses. So it can be so many other

things! Keep up the good work. and know, that only God , hard work

and time will heal! If you need too again, call me. We will chat.
