RE: Any thing to improve my circulation?

[Guest guest]

Hi, Soheila. I had numbness and tingling (from lack of circulation) for months.

I have RA - worst in the shoulders and hips. Was afraid I was getting neuropathy

- as RA can cause - which destroys the sheath surrounding the nerves. I have

been using an over-the-counter supplement of B12 (based on nonwater soluble

methylcobalamin - which is the important difference in B12 and why this is as

effective as those who get daily B12 shots). It has worked wonders - I no

longer have pain, numbness in hands and arms, waking me up every night. I

started with 2 capsules am and 2 pm, found this not enough and went to 4 am and

4 pm. Within 7-10 days numbing was gone. I now take 2 capsules in the am and 3

before bed. I have compared this with similar supplements in the health food

store and none have the same combination of B12 and B2 and B6 with Folic Acid

and the B12 as methylcobalamin and this costs a little less @$35 for 120

capsules. I also have done research that says you cannot overdose the B12.

Hello

I have SD suffering from poor circulation speially in

my hands fingers. I have attack of Raynauds at cold

weather.

I have redness (inflammation) around some of my

fingers nails.It seems there is infection too.I have

never had any infection on my hands or under nails. I

guess it is related to poor circulation. Does any body

knows of a herb or anything to improve my circulation

and treat the inflammation on my finger tips?

I am taking Diltiazem too which supposed to increase

the circulation.

I do appreciate your comments.

thank you

Hi all,

I had Raynaud's (miserable stuff) but it went away after three months on

Minocin (100 mg once a day). I stopped taking Minocin in late January of

this year (I was on it for 33 months) and about a month ago it felt like I

was going to have a Raynaud's episode. So I know Minocin helped me but I

may have to get back on the antibiotic, at least for a maintenance dose (3

times a week vice daily). El

Old timers on this list have heard this story before, but back in 1993 my

daughter (a cardiac nurse) learned a friend of hers, , had

scleroderma - a fact she had hidden from family and friends until she had to

be put on oxygen to get her housework done. I approached her with info on

the AP and she had me write a letter to her rheumatologist who refused to

prescribe the necessary IVs. It wasn't long until she needed oxygen 24/7 at

which point the rheumy agreed to the IVs - but it was too late - the damage

was already done. At this point, her husband was transferred to Texas -

forcing her to leave her medical and family support system. We moved two

months later to be near our children and ended up living two miles from this

women in houses built by the same builder. By that time this woman's feet

were a deep blue at the ankles and darkening to black feet, and in the

middle of summer she was dressed as if she were living in an igloo in

Alaska. was listening to 60 minutes one night and learned about

chelation - asking me to find a doctor willing to treat her.

I found a doctor and within just a few treatments, 's ankles and feet

were normal color and she was dressing in summer clothes. At that time,

's lungs were almost completely shut down. There is more to this story

but time is getting away from me today.

Chelation is a wonderful therapy for those that need it. You can find a

physician offering it at www.acam.org.

Hi Ethel,

Do you think chelation could be used for Sogreans (sp)?

Hi Sohelia, This is Dolores. I take Dilitiazam also. Been on it for about a

year. For a while, the tips of my fingers were also very sensitive. They were

so sensitive that I could not stand to touch anything and no one could touch my

hands either. A friend of mine went to pat my hand and I let out such a scream

that it scared the both of us and the others that were in the room as well. It

took a while, but that went away after being on the Minocin for a long time.

Then, when I went on M/P, that same sensitivity came back. It lasted about six

weeks but eventually went away. I hope your syptoms will disappear in time

also. For a while, I was afraid of getting an infection. I kept my hands very

clean and avoided touching anything hot or cold. I couldn't even open an

envelop. Then one day without any warning the hands and fingers felt just fine.

That whole episode tooke 6-8 weeks to develop and resolve. This sensitivity

developed right after I took a fall and

felt like I had broken a finger. I didn't go to the doctor, I just eased up on

using my hands and in due time, it just went away. I know you work with your

hands. I work with mine too, in the office opening mail, so I went out and

bought a letter opener and it made all the difference. Now I use tools instead

of my fingers to open everything and my fingertips are just fine. I still use

the tools. It seems I fingers needed a rest from daily chores as did the rest

of me. Hope you are coming along. What did Dr. Whitman have to say about the

sore fingers? Take care ~~~~Love, Dolores

Hi Soheila,

Butchers Broom is good for circulation. If you get up on Swanson or Vitamin

shop they can recomment other things that work..
