Hi,
I think if you correlate an event to your illness, there is a great possibility they do have something to do with each other! But it will be hard to find a Western doctor to help pinpoint that. I have never heard of a fish pedicure, but I have also only had ONE pedicure in my life. And it was after that mani and pedi that I got a finger infection, I am so grateful I did not allow any work on my toenails!

Although I have a history of burning soles and tingling on my right cheek, AND a history of raynaud's, I have NEVER had the pain, burning or numbness that I have been experiencing SINCE a major event this past summer. I had 2 wisdom teeth removed, and although some people have an easy time of it, I did not. I could not eat solid food for a month. When you eat only liquidized food, most of it contains sugar. I also took an antibiotic. It is exactly one week after I finished the antibiotic that I started getting toe pain and problems, and they have not gone away. I have problems believing these are all related, but I also don't know how they are not related. Sometimes I believe this is all related to that event, and then other times I start noticing that all my other irritating symptoms have either been going on or have greatly increased, and it cannot possibly be related to that one event.

If you believe this could be related, I think it is totally possible. And it may be YOU that has to figure it out. I'm sorry if it seems you have problems communicating this to your doctors, that seems to be a huge problem for a lot of us. I hope you can figure it out! (I used to own a lot of fishtanks and there ARE some diseases that people can get that are spread by fish, ie fish tuberculosis - through wounds, scratches...) I probably sound crazy even mentioning this, but I have OCD and trust me I have worried about that.
