When looking at exposure to toxins, how long would you have had to be exposed for? I dabbled in recreational drugs for approx a year when I was 24 (23 years ago) It was mainly anphetamine. Recently, I have done a bit of beauty/nails. I use shellac power polish which is UV cured & is supposedly non toxic & only do it on friends & family. I use a little bit of acetone to remove the shellac.I probably only do 2 sets of nails a week though. Could any of this be relevant? Thank you so much for your help. |

Hi Cath. That kind of pain is hard to DX. The neurologist will be able to at least tell you if it is normal. If you had an accident, or fall, then I could see if it felt broken in your foot. There will be something the doc. can do to ease your symptoms, hang in there. I also have a lotion that helps, that has alot of pain killers in it. It is something you can ask your neuro about. PM and I will send ingrediant list. I do wish you all the best. ginnie

One needs to look at everything, cath.
Here is one article: http://news.consumerreports.org/heal...anicures-.html Quote:
This link has a pdf link to read: http://www.epa.gov/dfe/pubs/projects/salon/index.htm What can happen with nerves is that they do sustain environmental assaults up to a point, with no obvious problem. Then something may come along to be a "last straw" and push one over into symptoms. So when a sudden PN shows up, it in reality may have been brewing for a while, and just reached a breaking point. I personally believe vaccines are in that trigger category. That is why it is so difficult to pin down. If you add a trigger to a person with hereditary tendency (CMT) already, you can see how confusing it becomes. I would make sure you have had kidney tests and liver tests just to be sure about the solvents.

I'd also like to add, that your ankle injuries in the past (I thought I read you had an old ankle problem-- but I may have you confused with someone else ), may be causing some tissue compression now. I know from personal experience that past trauma can come back to haunt some of us (scar tissue and all).
Have you tried ice on that ankle? Or on the foot? Ice tends to take nerve pain down. Heat will accelerate it. Some of us have used ice packs on the feet at times to help. Lidoderm patches are also an option, instead of oral pain killers.

I've described my feet as feeling broken. So yes to your question. Not knowing your medical condition I can only say to experiement with a soft orthotic from the drug store. I wear hard ones from the foot doctor but often I can't and use the gel ones. One day I was not wearing any and my foot hurt and I was limping. I put the orthotic in and was able to walk with out the pain or limping (didn't take away the neuropathy) but I think there is something to be said about proper support of the arch. I still prefer flip flops and as soon as I leave work these shows are off, but if I have to walk much that support helps. different days different things work.
