Mrs. D-thank you for your quick response.
I am not on any medication.
I can't think of any hobbies that would have contributed to this. Yes, I swam in chlorinated pools during the summer for most of my life and regularly wear clothes that have been dry cleaned.
I don't believe I had any DNA testing or methylation failure testing-I will ask for these.
No spinal issues I know of. Alas, I do have bilateral bunions and have arthritis in my feet-different type of pain.
I do have low Vitamin D and take 4000 iu of D3 daily. Will be retested in a couple of weeks.
I will try the magnesium lotion or supplements to see if that helps.
Again-thanks for your response-I am blown away by your dedication to this forum and your knowledge.
I would like to stop the progression and minimize the pain (if possible)in an attempt to delay needing medication to deal with this.
