Guest guest Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 Totally unrelated to mold-but I had a friend with the same issue , no evidence of a break. Then she had an MRI and the found that she did have a fracture. Maybe worth a shot, good luck.

The pinched nerve to the extremity is hard for most doctors as they can not " see " it. Back adjustments are key to diagnose, as when the back or neck is adjustment, and the problem goes away... Pinching occurs from fat inside the abdominal cavity, swelling of organs there, particularly the nerve fiber bundle itself, where the onset of symptoms is tingling at the extremity, then either numbness (or pain and then numbness). Inflammation or swelling is from 'fluid retention' which is not necessarily water, in most cases is not, but is immune mediated cells released by MAST cells to protect the body. Drinking less water only makes the problem worse, as the body then goes into starvation mode, and retains water. Drinking more water eases the problem as it allows flushing of the toxins causing the immune system to release molecules. It's a complex neuro-immunology physiological response, and only a double medical specialists, neurology and immunology, can diagnose it. These doctors are in the hottest medical field undergoing the most rapid expansion as they are finding success after success in this new toxic modern times. Now, what toxins? Airborne, touched, or consumed are your choices. In this case I would think carbon monoxide poisoning is likely if there is a gas appliance in the home of the 70 year old. Her symptoms will flair up in the winter when the gas heater is used, and go away in the warming spring and summer. If it is the water heater, then when the wind is right, and the exhaust fumes and sucked back into the house... again it can be season direction shifts in the wind. Or the oven or stove. The oven might be used only once a month or less, for a cake or roast, and her symptoms occur for a few weeks after each use, or only after a big cooking week, where the exposure was higher. Sewer gas is another common cause, as it algae/fungus growing in the drains of sinks, showers, tubs, and toilet, including the toilet tank, which should be pristine clean. The homes of elderly are full of hidden death traps like these. I know from first hand experience. Ugh. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 and List Members, Have you ever heard of or are you seeing a neurologist and immunologist that is aware of the impact of toxins? Thanks, Sam It's a complex neuro-immunology physiological response, and only a double medical specialists, neurology and immunology, can diagnose it.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 Is it, perhaps, cellulitis? That's treated with IV antibiotics. V. From: barb1283 <barb1283@...> Subject: [] Too Much Inflamation Date: Friday, April 17, 2009, 11:49 AM I had a small injury to foot and it has become swollen and inflamed. Xray shows nothing so doctor said probably a sprain or strain but that was a couple months ago and foot still swollen. Now he thinks I have an 'overreaction' to injury, too much inflamation, and had a name for it...something chronic and scary sounding, but Dr Shoemaker's tests showed years ago that I have high inflamatory markers, so could this be in the 'constilation' of mold illness do you think? Difficulty resolving inflamation? Thanks..worried about my foot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 I wonder how that is diagnosed? My white blood cells, no matter how sick I feel, are ever high. I think because my immune system isn't functioning well enough. That's how they would determine, right? >> > I had a small injury to foot and it has become swollen and inflamed.
