tingling and pins and needles in arms , hands and feet and legs

In the last year I have suffered with tingling, burning , pins and needles in the feet, hands and legs. I also have a problem with my lower back and neck. My symptoms seen to last about 4to 5 weeks and then gradually go away. I get spasms in my back starting in the lower back and shooting upto the neck. this can very painful at times.  I get fatigued in the afternoon after being busy all morning, sometimes need a little sleep before I can carry on with other jobs. My GP has done all the blood tests and I am waiting for the results.  I am also waiting to go into hospital for laporscopy and cystoscopy to check my bladder, (feels like i have got a urine infection with the pain),bowel and fallopian tubes due to me being sterilised 2 years ago. I would like to know what else my doctor could do for me

Hi! Thanks for asking...where do I begin? I have so much to talk about. What type of marital problems are you facing? I ask for many reasons. Murial Hemmingway swears by single nasal breathing for 5-10 minutes to reduce stress & gain energy. She only does Yoga now for fitness. She looks beautiful!!......Keep the tip of your tounge placed on the back of your front teeth to prevent any mouth breathing...relax and allow yourself to feel your belly and lower abdominal to fill with air and count to 8-10 minimum on each inhale & exhale. She swears it clears her focus 110%. It's a great stress reducer.
Repeat beautiful positive affirmations as you focus & breathe.
I Sally am being freed from this bondage which no longer has a hold on me" I command you to leave in the name of Jesus Christ!
Greater is He that is in me than he that is this world.
"I Sally, can do all things through Christ, who gives me strength." I Sally am blessed with all the fruits of the Spirit... Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness,and SELF CONTROL!
Why is the 9th fruit of the spirit so hard to achieve?
I'm interested in knowing your marital stress because this all happened to my best friend - her dad is a preacher &/or a minister. Her husband is a borderline personality and a witty abuser.It all started 7 years ago. Ohhh... How do I state this?
Do you believe in spiritual warefare? There is a epidemic that is running rampant and the most sobering fact of the year was the Catholic Church just opened their 1st school of exorcism.
They believe that people are taking on possesive, controling hosts that manifest themselves in negative medical ways and there are specific warfare prayers and lifestyle managements to offset this epidemic in the millinium. I could go as far as saying I've had the unforunate experience of trying to help her and dealing w/ it and suffering the consequences of not knowing what I was basking in~ where after visiting a mental hospital I had a severe reactions that only the TBN channel has actually pin pointed.I love Paula White - you can only know her glory after hearing her story.
It all started w/ my best friend innocently began taking on the characteristics of her husbands naredewell unfruitful bar dwelling lifestyle.It was a downward spiral straight through the gates of he--(double hockey sticks). I was just an innocent, caring bystander & friend at the time. I have learned daily to vamp up with spiritual warfare. Her anxiety attacks demanded perscription medication and soon after that the side effects were devastating and the system does NOT WORK! Her husband found out how to work the mental system- he can put her back in any time and cry wolf (he lies just to go out on a date and get rid of her permantly for 2 weeks to a month - each time hoping it will be permanent!)
It's sick and the most evil I've ever seen. She is literally almost destroyed as the person we all knew her to be. Her face became like the elephant man while she is under heavy attack. I felt them trying to manifest on me as I visited & will NEVER again set foot in the midst of He-- (you know the wards) and I always thought I was so strong - it so couldn't happen to me.
Anyhow, Sally...I really feel after diving in and reading all your other chat comments (sorry- I like to know as much as I can before I can truthfully address your issue deep down)you may highly have a manifestation since you definately have ruled out everything else. I would highly suggest watching the healers on TBN and taking it seriously. Normally the manifestations start w/ obsessions and anxiety attacks,worrying etc. Unspeakable Joy and Peace are blessings. You can have complete healing. Its there for you to research and take.
I pray you will never experience full throttle manifestations like the ones I've seen on a friend. She benefitted many people and had a gift of helping people become better until she met her husband and he stripped her of her self respect, worth, and dignity. Anyhow...what do you have to lose?

My husband has the Burning Sensations that float all over.

He has had every test and is normal.  

I have search on the net and a lot of people have this Burning Sensation and they all have taken the same test and they are all normal.

Back in 8/22/2000 someone posted on this site about Aspartame being toxic.  I started reading everything on the web about Aspartame.  It seems to be toxic but very political.  Also I read that when aspartame reaches high temps it is very toxic.

My husband is miserable and we will try anything, why not, nothing else has worked.  So I looked at all the food products in my house that had aspartame, my sugar free gum was the first item.  My husband has gum in the car with aspartame.  

We started thinking about the history of our diet, foods, life.  To make a long story short.  At one point this burning stopped then it started back up.  I am in the process of researching the sugar free products we used in the past vs what we use now.

So for now, I am going to have him try DeTox tea, detox meal and try what every I can find to detox his system.

He has a floating burning sensation and it is like a sunburn under the skin.  When you touch the are it is not hot, but he tells me it is burning.  The burning sensations happen throughout the day, some days he has headaches, muscle weekness, depression, fatigue, irritability, insomnia, anxiety attacks, slurred speech, blurred vision, and the list goes on.

About 4 years ago he did have a MRI not sure about the dye and he has had many, many, test but all were normal.

We went to a Natural doctor she did all kinds of test including throat scope through the body.  Showed a little acid reflux but not that bad.  The hair test showed high aluminum and a few other things.

We had already stopped drinking soft drinks. We changed cooking pans, we stopped sugar and went to sugar free, and went to low sodium diet.

The burning sensations and other symptoms went away for several years.

Now all the symptoms are back.

Excellent for you. The detoxing implementation is a definate poitive step forward. Thats a huge issue. Also note that cooking spray has chemicals, also. Use a bottle or spritzer olive oil, etc. Your goal is to cut out all chemicals.I love your comment on cooking pans - you are so very right. Some are toxic to cook in.  We end up broiling fresh or flash frozen food in oven & NO non-stick pans. Like I have said in earlier comments.... if you use a box noodle mix 2/3 of fresh produce in with it. So 1/3 of pan is noodle box and the other 2/3's mostly consists of fresh nutritious veges (carrots, zuch, brocilli, etc).
I was so thank-ful to you for the sugerfree gum comment. As a Masters in nutrition I so overlooked that I always give my kids a pack of that sugar free **** every week and chew it myself.  I love the things that the med field misses.
NOTE - Your body can only get the natural chemical, hormonal balances form regular exercise. There is no man-made way that is safe & effective (anti-depressants & anti anxiety, etc.)
a drug will never always replicate what you can do for yourself!
My husband has thanked me for beging him to go back to the gym and get rid of that bodily smell. I can just smell the detoxing that takes place and he swears his stomach problems and focus problems have left the house! Thank-God! He is so happy!
I'm off to putting in a workout DVD right now since I blew my chance to go to the gym this morning.
My husband took about 2 weeks to get addicted to the chemicals endorphine, etc. at the gym and once you have an addiction developed....GUESS WHAT???  YES! he is hooked!
I'm taking my friend who is paralyized form the waist down to Macy's for a make over and then I'm introducing her to the row machine at the gym.  Theres always a way!  Will power!Prayer!
