loss of mobility and low temperature

[treaty]

I was diagnosied with Fibromyalgia several years ago.  I had and incident that has me concerned.  I was very ill and thought I had the flu but know I wonder??  I was very sick to my stomach and had diarrhea.  I got very chilled and thought it was a fever.  I was throwing up etc.. then I got this weird sensation in my arms and legs.  They were tingling and felt numb, but the sensation got very strong to the point that I could not feel my feet/legs or hands/arms.  Also my fingers "pulled together" and bent at the wrist, I could not open them or move them at all, nor could I straighten out my wrists. I had a hard time talking and tried to tell my husband to call 911.  He just thought I had a bad case of the flu/fibromyalgia together and was having a reaction because of it.  My temperature also dropped to 91 degrees.  This lasted about quite awhile and it has scared me.  Did I have a stroke or something?

That is one of the tests that the MP recommends you get. You can definitely have symptoms because of the MP treatment.. it is called "herxing" and it means that your body is experiecing a die-off reaction from killing the bacteria in your system that causes inflammation.

Be sure to get tested for vitamin D. There are people who had bad reactions to the MP. Do the research.

Please consider getting tested for lyme disease. This is what happens to patients' who have had lyme disease for a long time and have not been properly diagnosed or treated.

Also, consider checking into the Marshall Protocol. (google "Marshall Protocol" + "success stories") I am currently being treated on the Marshall Protocol for CFS, thanks to an Endocrinologist who cares and keeps up with the research.

P.S. -- the Marshall Protocol has successfully treated patients' with CFS, fibro, lyme, sarcoidoisis, RA, etc. etc. There are members' on their website who have lyme disease and did not have success with the IV antibiotics, but have had success with the MP. To find out whether or not you would be a good candidate for the MP, all you need is two simple blood tests.

P.S. --- Have you had a recent EKG done ?

I have also had that same sensation of tingling and the my limbs going numb.  Unfortunately I have not found a Doctor that explain why I have the issues that I do with my Fibromyalgia, sometimes I get so frustrated.  It seems like it is just a cover for they don't know what is wrong.  When I do get the flu and things like that my fibromyalgia gets even worse than normal.  The only suggestion I have for you is to hang in there and keep trying to do your everyday stuff.  You have to keep moving or it will take control.  At one time, I wasn't even able to get out of bed, and now I am working a fulltime job, and taking care of my house and husband, and am very involved in my church.  Hang in there.
