Guest guest Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 Hi Folks: Read this and BEFORE you go to the link - what do you think this poor soul might be suffering from? Fibro ? CFS? my thoughts kinda ranged in these two disorders...... In the months to follow I began to have problems with pain and weakness in my left knee, then to include my right knee. Over the years the pain and weakness increased to include my ankles, shins, knees, feet, toes, shoulder, wrists, hands, fingers, neck, and back; basically my entire skeletal structure was affected! Some days weren't so bad, other days I could hardly stand to move anything.I often felt very fatigued, sluggish and depressed but I assumed that chronic pain justified all these. Before I was married I was at my worst state. There were many days I couldn't get out of bed because the pain and weakness were so severe. I would often feel lightheaded or experience vertigo with the room shifting back and forth a few times. When I could get out of bed, I often walked with a cane to help support the weakness in my legs, but even this was extremely difficult because my wrists and hands where also weak and painful. http://magicref.tripod.com/health/salicylate.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 Yes Susan, it sound like any number of these UGLY disorders and diseases, yet once 'she' removed the chemicals (in the food) out of her diet, there was recovery!

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Since symptoms started in one area and have spread systemically through the body my first guess would be some sort of an infection, either parasitic or of toxic chemicals and heavy metals. Since the problem might also be neurological, there also may be some form of anemia involved. These are possibilities that are easily detected in routine blood tests that include a complete metabolic panel and a CBC with differential. Medical doctors are not trained to see many things that are reflected in the blood and seem to not only ignore some possibilities, but to deny their existence altogether. If there are frank abberations in blood cell and platelet geometry and content, a hair analysis may be in order. Doctors deny the value of hair mineral assays because they are trained to do so. Meanwhile, Linus Pauling, while reflecting on how short life is, said that if he had another life to live he could prove that every chronic disease was nothing more than a problem with minerals - too much, too little, or the wrong kind. --- On Sat, 6/13/09, Clare McHarris <theclaremcharris wrote: Clare McHarris <theclaremcharris An interesting diagnosis Date: Saturday, June 13, 2009, 5:41 AM Hi Folks: Read this and BEFORE you go to the link - what do you think this poor soul might be suffering from?
