Hi Palms!

to NT. Hawaii is one of my most fave spots in the whole wide world. Have been many times. My fave island is Hawaii.

I am sorry to hear your wife has been battling RSD.

I see that Jo has referred you to the TOS forum.. Often TOSers (as we like to be called - I am one) have numbness and tingling in their fourth and fifth digits. Have you done a lot of overhead work in the past? How is your posture?

TOS is hard to diagnose, many docs are not that familiar with it and it rarely shows up on mri's etc. . We have some excellent resources on the TOS forum. Please feel free check it out.

Make sure that if a doc send you for PT that you do not do anything that hurts.

Aloha!

Welcome to NT!

Thanks for the welcome.
I am apparently in the pre Diabetic stage as my glucose test shows. Maybe a connection with the numbness.I need to clean up my diet and get off sugars and get regular exercise. Commitment is a problem. I am and have always been slim and only fat is in the gut area. A bit too much for me. All in all I am thankful for what I have at this later stage of life.

Hi Palms,

A couple of months ago my blood tests showed pre-diabetic insulin resistance. I am a bad eater and had a big sweet tooth. Plus my cholesterol was 315 .

Well I got serious real quick. Went on a diet and cut out anything gluten and then sugar. In 3 months I have dropped cholesterol 80 points and 16 pounds lighter mostly around my middle section.

I dont really miss too much. I saw a nutritionist to kick it off since I wanted to learn more about how to pair foods properly and she told me 1/3 protein, 2/3 veggies. Also cut down to one diet soda a day.

I also started testing my Ph balance and it showed my body and diet was very acidic. When your body is too acidic it has a hard time getting rid of toxins and stores em in fat. Make sure to get a good antioxidant vitamin to help along with that sublingual b12 that will help the burning.

Best of luck on changing your eating habits.

Aloha ( I love saying that)
