Hello Everyone-

This is my first summary so please bear with me..

First of all, I would like to thank all for your caring replies. It was
my first message to the group and I never expected that I would feel
that much stronger with you all.

Suggestions were:

- use antiflammatories instead of pain killers
- visit http://forums.delphiforums.com/celiac/messages website.
- place feet in warm water if they are cold and vice versa.
- keep my feet raised as much as possible.

People suggested I should check for:

- Diabetes: I was told that type 2 diabetes had symptoms, such as weight
loss, frequent urination, constant thirst and/or hunger, and fatigue.
More information is at www.diabetes.org

- Gout: type of arthritis caused by excess uric acid building up.

- Raynaud's Disease at http://www.merck.com/pubs/mmanual/section16/
chapter212/212d.htm and see a vasular specialist.

- a genetic disorder termed as Acute Intermittent Porphyria at:
http://www.merck.com/pubs/mmanual/section2/chapter14/14b.htm
caused by hormonal shifts within the body.

- Cortisol levels since this may be caused by too much "cortisol" in the
system.

- Henoch - Schonlein Purpura (HSP): commonly encountered in children,
and can damage kidneys and gut too.

Since I sent the email I have seen a neurologist and he said I had
"peripheral neuropathy" and in order to figure out what is causing it he
will perform some tests soon. HOpefully, something will come out of this
one.

Thank you for all that has shared their problems with me and took the
time to think about my problems.

Warmest Regards,
bade
