Re: Any insight on tingling feet/legs??

March 11, 2008

One thought ---neuropathy.

Mercury is listed as a cause. Amongst other things like diabetes, liver

damage,...can't remember the others. It can also happen on hands and

arms. I am not versed in all the causes of tingling but I have had it

on and off for quite sometime. It is getting markedly better.

When I was on Flagyl (metronidazole) years ago for my Crohns, I must

have been on the med for quite a while when I developed painful

tingling feet. I had to stop the med asap and it went away.

Can I just say Crud! I had neuropathy for a few years prior to amalgam

removal. Now with 22 rounds down it reappears??!! Maybe I better do a

round and see if the tingling goes away??

I also oddly began having a problem with my ears the past two days.

Off an on I get this sensation that my ears are plugging up..like I am

doing underwater, then it quickly disappears. When this happens, my

hearing " dims " . The only way I can think to express it. It feels like

pressure in my ears. Totally not like anything I have ever had happen

to my ears. I have not done a round in a few weeks..so I have no idea

what is causing all this odd stuff.

Jada

it's bizarre, but I get this too. I think it was Huggins who said that

ear wax secretion increases after amalgam removal, and this has been my

experience. I had to have my ears syringed out for the first time ever

last year - less than 12 months after amalgam removal. The ENT

specialist predicted that I would be back, and sure enough, I am about

to make my next appointment, as the blocked ear problem is coming

back.

my understanding is this is mecury moving/hopefully being chelated,

the burning and tingling

I have had it pretty constant from when I was on BP (Bad protocols)

cilantro, sulphur foods, chlorella and edta (14 months ago)

now I just get it when i am chelating if I am overdosing or

underdosing

I had read once (I believe) that our body is smart enough to try and

move the mercury as far away from our organs as possible..ie our feet

and lower legs and hands /wrists..this is where i get my burning a lot

(actually back and face/head as well)

Oddly I don't have much ear wax at all. They are dry and itching

instead. This sensation is inside inner ears..between this and my

feet...this ship is sinking!

I reply to the Flagyl I am not on any medications.

I hope that is the case, I really can't take having yet another thing

wrong with me. I think I will put myself on a round this weekend and

see if that doesn't help it. Also going to bug my chiropractor in case

something is pinched off in my back.

This is interesting because I have had the tingling/burning feeling on

the top of the feet and ankle many times before I started chelation.

It was very annoying, and it was often one-sided. I don't think it

ever lasted more than a day or two. I don't remember it happening lately.

I still get the muted hearing often. It comes and goes for me, and it

lasts a few minutes each time. I also get occasional tinnitus but it

usually happens when I'm falling asleep.

My ear wax became stickier and more wet the sicker I got. Once I

started chelating, it started to become more dry and flaky like it is

supposed to be for me.

Another weird thing is blackouts that last less than a second, where

it seems like all the lights were flicked off and on quickly. My wife

mentioned experiencing one recently, and it is something I've

experienced occasionally since adolescence.

Yes, and I looked up diabetic neuropathy..that starts in the toes from

what I understand. My toes are fine..just the ankles and top of the foot.

I have had constant tinnitus for three years. It changes pitches when

I am on dmsa. I have concluded that my tinnitus is from mercury

poisoning. The ear specialist asked me if I were exposed to any heavy

metals in the line of work. I should have said..yes..but I was not

thinking of my teeth at that time.

The flickering..hmm. I used to get these tiny sparks of light when I

closed my eyes. Like little flashes or sparks going off...those went

away after I had the fillings out. My vision used to dim like you

describe also..like your looking around and someone dimmed all the

lights for a second..then wahlah..it's daytime again. Very freaky.

That too went away when I had the fillings out.

I did have numbness, tingling, and burning in my hands and feet before

I had the fillings out. So maybe everyone's right..its more Hg

moving..at least I hope that it is.

My ears itching to me its yeast. I notice more of it on wet humid

days. I think its the dmsa stirring up the yeast. I sometimes have

tingling of the feet, nothing too much thought. Sometimes i wake up

and one of my hands is asleep happens maybe once a month usually when

I am chelating or the next day when I stop. I think mercury symptoms.

I definitely have that. It just seems odd this symptoms would show up

now that I have less Hg in me that I ever did. Who knows..I know

something is not right because I can't lick this ear fluid thing. I

also feel off today, kind of like I might get dizzy but I don't. I

recall having this problem a long time ago..and I think it was viral.

My head anyway..not the leg thing.

I am going to my chiropractor tomorrow because I notice when I am

sitting the feet tingling it worse...and am getting pin prick

sensations in the lower trunk now too..something must be pinched off.

Thanks everyone for all your great suggestions and help!

Just chiming in to say that I got the tingling too. Never had it

before chelation, I just had bad circulation where my arm would fall

asleep if I slept on it and would tingle like mad when I got the

circulation going again. But during the dump phase, I would wake up

in the middle of the night with the " circulation going again "

tingles, but I wouldn't have been sleeping on that arm. It would

just go on and on. And the worst I got it was when I accidentally

ate gluten (I'm strictly GF) during the dump phase, but before I'd

ever chelated. Arms, legs, lips numb and tingling on and off for a

24 hour period. On top of my usual gluten horror symptoms. Not

fun.

Anyway, what I wanted to say is that this all disappeared with

chelation. And since this all came on new during my dump phase, I

was wondering if you might be in yours and that's why old mercury

symptoms are returning? Just a theory...
