I am not a doctor . I think your symptoms are severe enough to see a

doctor.... I would recommend a naturopath , You could try John Ruhland, he is on

Beacon Hill. I here good things about him through friends, I think if you called

and talked to him you can get an idea if he could be of help or send you in the

right direction.. Getting a different opinion other than a regular MD.

Improving the diet is optimal with plenty of clean filtered water.

Did anything in your environment change ? remodel, new carpet ,new bed , paint

, new car ,job,? your physical environment can effect the health.

Swelling is inflamation in most cases, numbness could be a few things. I would

recommend some certain foods and herbs you could take for that but you would

need to make sure it is not a heart condition and especially if you are on

medications, that is a good reason to see an ND.

I sure wish you well.

I need advise, I am afraid from Dr opinions..loooong!

 

June 25, 2007 I woke up feeling like I was getting the flu..I was

very excited as I had not had a good detox since I fell off the 100%

raw wagon just over 4 years ago. I was beginning to think that I did

not have enough body energy to go thru a healing since having gone

back to the SAD way of eating and failing miserably at any attempt to

get back to raw for more than a week or two. By day 2 of this healing

crisis I awoke with severely swollen hands, wrists, feet and ankles.

The pain was an intense burning with tingling, severe aching and

numbness in my arms, hands and fingers. I pretty much figured I had

some form of arthritis (self diagnosis.I'm adopted). I immediately

went back to eating all raw during the day w/some steamed veggies at

night. I thought I would start to see some improvement but by day 21

I could no longer use my hands to even open a bottle of water and the

pain was now keeping me from sleeping.

 

I went to a Dr and she took one look at my swollen hands and feet and

told me that this was definitely " not " arthritis but secondary heart

failure and possibly kidney failure. She did an EKG and it showed my

heart was skipping beats. She drew some blood and sent me home w/a 24

hour heart monitor attached. This was on a Friday. That night the

pain was so bad I did not sleep at all. I went to Urgent Care on

Saturday morning according to her voice message and the Dr there told

me I had one of the worse cases of symmetrical arthritis he had seen

in a long time. I told him that the 1st Dr said I had secondary

heart failure but that I had experienced heart palpations off an on

since I was in my 20's and I'm 60 now. He said he didn't feel the

heart thing was an issue. He sent me home with pain pills and a 10

day bout of steroids and told me to find a new primary care Dr. (The

swelling and pain stopped w/in 24 hours. Now at day 10 the swelling

is coming back as is the pain and claw like hands.)

 

I was able to find a new Dr the next day and she heard my heart being

weird but an EKG w/her showed nothing. All the tests & X-rays came

back negative for arthritis and all blood work OK. They still want me

to see arthritis & cardio specialists. They are telling me that they

feel I have Rheumatoid arthritis and that it can not be cured but can

be kept under control thru drugs. That also I may need a pace-maker.

 

My questions are: should I see the arthritis specialists to find out

if I really do have arthritis? But scariest of all is the heart

thing...should I follow thru and have the treadmill test done and

see just what is going on w/my heart or are the steroids I took

making my heart wacko? Or, should I find a good fasting clinic and

let my body heal naturally and if you all think that is the best

thing to do..does anyone know of a good fasting clinic here in the

states that they can recommend? Thank you for any advice,

information, input. Breezi
