Grin A really positive update

Hi everyone

Just to let you know what has happened over the past couple of months:
* Have found two specialists, one a rheumatologist/musculoskeletal specialist, one a musculoskeletal/pain specialist in Auckland who have been brilliant.
* Treatment has involved manipulations to my neck and thoracic spine and I also got an injection into my right medial ankle bone and have been working on some 'mindfulness' stuff.
* The manipulations have significantly helped the burning and tingling in my hands and wrists and elbows.
* The injection has helped my ankle pain - the specialist believed there may have been a musculoskeletal reason for this.
* The 'mindfulness' has really helped the pain in general, I think that mine had turned into chronic pain and I am working on positive thinking and other methods.
* I am now off all medication and while I still have flare ups and numb feet when playing tennis or running I feel that it is getting better and certainly no worse.
* Conclusions: either I just had a sensory neuropathy from a virus that is now resolving itself through a natural course.
or the stuff I have had done or am doing is making a difference or a combination of the two.

I am now starting to think that I may still have a marathon left in me yet.

Note: I wonder if I did have a course of sensory neuropathy like the article in my thread above?

I am so happy, I wish everyone the best and will keep you updated.
