Haven't updated this post for some time, since getting back to California. When I got here I kept taking the medications prescribed in NY as well as my herbs. In June or July of 2011 I stopped taking them because they were making me dizzy, but stuck with the herbs, until the following summer when my fingers started going numb. Then I stopped thinking that perhaps I was taking herbs that shouldn't be mixed. The dizzyness pretty much disappeared, except occasionally in the dark, but the numbness is still here in my head on the right, calves and feet and fingers, although I think getting better. I'm still not convinced that it wasn't an ear infection of some kind. Since I got here I haven't seen a doctor because of no insurance for one thing together with I didn't really see much from those in NY. Mainly it was a case of well maybe, probably, we think, but not one this is for sure what happened. Then I became 65 and got Medicare and one thumbnail became ingrown and swollen and hurt like hell, so a couple months ago went to the Dr. and am now having a blood test, they drew the blood this morning. What's interesting is that yesterday when I went back because the thumb isn't better they took my blood pressure and it was 124/70, dropped from the 180/190 over 80/90 of 1-2 yrs ago. It turns out my thumb has a fungus, so the blood test is to make sure the liver is ok with the fungus meds, but he ordered a full spectrum blood and urine test including for magnesium so I'll find out what's what. As to the numbness it's interesting that parts of my face and head and legs/feet I can feel heat both from the shower and the heating pad I use to warm the foot of the bed. I'll find out from the blood test if I still have diabeties, probably, but I have dropped weight and am staying away from sugar/salt for the most part. I've read that diabeties is caused by inflamation in the body, and by relieving the inflamation, it gets the pancreas back to normal producing insulin and the body using the insulin the way it's designed to. That's what I'm working on...
