You can contact your pharmacy which should have your medication history. It may be faster that way.

Thank you for this suggestion. Will do this morning ASAP. I am very thankful for your help and information. Mahalo and aloha!

Just found out clindamycin was one of the antibiotics prescribed. Will find out the other later today when I go to the hospital where I went for the ER. I have an appt. there today anyway for review of monitoring of bloodwork.

Clindamycin is not typically a PN trigger. It can affect bowel flora however majorly. Some people believe that altering the bowel flora significantly leads to other medical issues. But that is beyond the scope of our board for now.

The Parkinson's forum discusses bowel flora in relation to treating some symptoms of PD or as a trigger for PD developing. But still that is experimental today.

If you can get some Kefir where you are.... and eat some daily...you might see some improvement. Lifeway Kefir is making a mainstream appearance now. It has 12 probiotics in it, and is delicious as well. And affordable. Some of us use it here. It was very helpful for me over a year ago. Much better than yogurt, in fact.

I would explore those mechanical issues with your surfing stress on the feet. It can't be easy for them as we age, to do what you do. Try the ice treatments and stretches on the Northcoast footcare site that I gave you... I really like that site, and you might look around there further. I personally found lacing suggestions to take the pressure off my high instep...this simple solution stopped my numb toes!

Many foot problems can be traced to mechanical stressors which then affect the nerves. So the PN would be secondary to those stressors. (something you probably don't want to hear or would not like to know if you love your surfing.).

Thank you again Mrs.d. My surfing has evolved to where I stand not fully erect as I have favored my left due to injury and neuropathy or combo of both. Normally you need to get to your feet quickly with one foot in front of the other. Right foot in front of left is called goofy foot stance, which is my normal stance. Left foot forward is called regular , kinda like being a right hander as opposed to being a lefty. Now with my weakened left side I tend to be one knee up and one knee down which is not ideal for surfing to say the least. Maybe on a boogie board it is acceptable but I do want I have to do be in the water. We have had an unusual summer this year with many large south swells. Can not recall in memory so many large waves over so long a period.
When I do stand, my feet are parallel with each other which is totally incorrect, and to correct this with micro seconds and on moving body of water, pretty near impossible. When factoring in other surfers in the water in your way and size of wave, etc. I stay in my half up, half down position as it offers me more control. My goal is to get to my feet properly, hopefully soon. Hopefully everything is well in your state as all I have been reading is about the Detroit bankruptcy. We are doing much better now as tourism has picked up here.

Please see my reply to you on the other thread.

Statins seriously have major toxicity to nerves and muscles.

I will be leaving soon, for my extended no computer vacation in a remote area with no electricity. I will be online only sporadically with iPhone or at free wifi sights at the laundromat.

Any questions should be asked now, before Friday this week.

Thank you once again for all your help. I did read your post on statins and it is very alarming to say the least. My dosage is 10 mg daily at night and have no ill effects for the past 20 plus years as I was placed on it my early 40s. From Pravachol to Lovastatin and on and on, changes mainly due insurance drug coverages. After seeing my internist today, he suggested to see a neurologist and I will be getting a referral soon from regular Primary Care Physician. Probably get some sort of diagnosis hopefully. My only other question at this time would be if seeing a chiropractor may help. The Ad I saw said that sublaxtation of the spine may cause nerve damage and treatment can help, probably some massage or stretching. I must say I do not experience any back pain at all but some say there is a link like sciatic nerve damage, etc. to PN. If you do not respond I will understand that you would be on vacation so please have an enjoyable trip. I can not express my appreciation for your compassion and effort for helping me with my situation.
