Guest guest Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 My husband was diagnosed with Mito last summer...nothing else until then even though he had ptotis and other problems for over 40 years...now, he is having problems with swollen foot...checked for gout on three occasions and got negative results...this time we were sent to a podiatrist so he is treating him for gout...seems to be better this morning...am wondering if others have this problme. mitomomx3 MitomomX3@...> wrote: I was reading some articles on MS and is it just me or does it seem like mito is more like MS than MD? I know it is under the MDA umbrella of MD but it is so like MS it is scary... guess that is why many of us were misdiagnosed as MS... can we take a count of how many were misdiagnosed as MS im curious....

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 Kathy I get swelling in my feet (often only the left one) when I retain fluid as a result of over-doing it. I need to walk a little to maintain good circulation, but keep my feet up when possible. A swollen right foot can be due to cardiac issues. Has he had an ultrasound of his leg? Swelling in a foot can be due to reduced circulation in the leg from clogged arteries (my dad had this in one leg and then the other from blood clots). I hope your husband gets some answers. laurie > My husband was diagnosed with Mito last summer...nothing else until then > even though he had ptotis and other problems for over 40 years...now, he is > having problems with swollen foot...checked for gout on three occasions and > got negative results...this time we were sent to a podiatrist so he is > treating him for gout...seems to be better this morning...am wondering if > others have this problme. > > mitomomx3 MitomomX3@...> wrote: I was reading some articles on MS and > is it just me or does it seem > > like mito is more like MS than MD? > I know it is under the MDA umbrella of MD but it is so like MS it is > scary... > guess that is why many of us were misdiagnosed as MS... > can we take a count of how many were misdiagnosed as MS im curious.... > > > > > > > > Medical advice, information, opinions, data and statements contained herein > are not necessarily those of the list moderators.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 Thanks Laurie for you reply. We have an appointment again with the podiatrist this week and will ask about the ultrasound of his leg....his foot is much better today. I appreciate your input....this is where I get much of my information as the doctors here are not very knowledgeable about Mito. Also, I am looking for a website that would give the acronyms that are used here...some of the short cuts are familiar to me but many are not. Thanks again for you help.
