Guest guest Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 Beth, I'm still not sure what you are referring to as far as the myelin sheath antibodies test. Normally experiencing severe headpain from what I understand an MRI WITH contrast will show any deterioration of the myelin sheath showing up as white spots. But you must have it done with the dye. Sharon also experiences facial numbness, pain and tingling quite frequently. Obviously this also has effected the trigeminal nerve. Sharon's MMP9 was 465, according to the paperwork normal range is 85- 333. KC > > > > Beth, > > > > I'm not familiar with that test without researching it.

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 Sharon, I'm so sorry to hear that you are hurting. I have tried a lot of detoxing things, I did find that a FIR sauna helped the pain a lot when I was using one, I am saving to hopefully buy one. Also, for some strange reason, hot baths or showers will take the edge off the tingling for me, enough so I can sleep. I try to take epsom salt baths when I can remember to do them. I have been trying really hard to avoid sugar, but I am a sweet tea addict. I dived into all the sweet stuff like pralines and the like when I moved down here. I am backing off that now and drinking more water, have started back on Kyolic garlic. I hope you will be able to find something that will help you feel better. thanks, Beth --- In , " tigerpaw2c " <tigerpaw2c@...> wrote: > > Beth, > > I'm afraid not.
