one more thing... Mrs D you mention taking antacids? Can that have an effect on any of this? I take rolaids and stopped taking my statins but think I will have to go back to them.
I am high risk for stroke as have migraines and with high cholesterol not much else I can do probably to lower mine. Sometimes it is just in the genes.. have you gone off all sugar and as to carbs you stay away from bread etc? What diet do you follow? |

It looks like I'm on D3 tablets so that's something. My back is poor and I have no doubt that I am headed for the MRI scanner in a few weeks. |

My mother in law died of mesothelioma sarcomatoid cancer. She was exposed as a child/teen to asbestos from clothing her father wore when he came home from work and she did the laundry. Her symptoms were not "typical" as you mentioned and took a year to diagnose and by then she was bad off and died soon after.
I would be careful about the label of "typical symptoms" for that disease. I learned it can be anything but typical. Not suggesting you have it simply offering my experience. |

Grocery shopping is usually bearable until I get to the checkout. Standing there waiting to pay gets excruciatingly painful!! I've done a lot of Googling in the past few weeks. I don't really come across very many stories with similar symptoms that aren't diagnosed with plantar fasciitis. Of all my pain and discomfort, it's really the only one that doesn't fit in as classical neuropathy signs. I have so many other classic symptoms that started around the same time that I find it hard to believe the aching feet isn't directly related.

No, I do some carbs, but I have gone gluten free again a couple months ago for my GI issues. Seems to be working well. I tend to follow the Zone diet, which balances carbs, proteins, and good fats. 40% 30% 30%, respectively.

I have had PN for almost 13 years now. My feet and lower legs got progressively number over that time and now have severe numbness. Even though they are deeply numb, i still get what i call broken bones feeling in my feet when i stand or walk. It literally feels like i am walking on broken bones. thefurther i walk the worse it gets, the more i stand the worse it gets, standing still in a line on a concrete floor is the worst. I also have chronic muscles fasiculations mostly in my calves. not all the time, but often. sometimes i just sit there and watch the muscles twitching as if they belonged to someone else. the cause of my pn is exposure to toxins. I was diagnosed with PN two years after my exposure via an EMG/NCS. I got my first symptoms within a month after the exposure. Honestly I thought it was a back problem, i ignored the growing numbness and pain until it became impossible. my PN is due to axonal damage.
