My wife suffers from Eosinophilic Fasciitis and has done so for about 20 years, as ther is no cure.
Eosinophilic fasciitis is a very rare syndrome in which muscle tissue underneath the skin, called fascia, becomes swollen and thick. Rapid swelling can occur in the hands, arms, legs, and feet.
Causes
The cause of eosinophilic fasciitis is unknown. Fewer than 300 cases have been reported in the past 35 years.
People with this condition have a buildup of eosinophils, a type of white blood cell, in the affected fascia and muscles. Eosinophils are related to allergic reactions, but their exact function is unknown.
The syndrome affects people of any age, but is more common in people ages 30 to 60.
Symptoms
Bone pain or tenderness Carpal tunnel syndrome
Numbness or tingling in one or both hands
Pain in one or both hands
Weakness in one or both hands
Muscle weakness Tenderness and swelling of the arms and legs (occasionally including joints) Thickened skin with puckered appearance
She has now tried on two occasions to take the 3 week cause of M.M.S.
The first time, a few months ago she built up to 3 drops of M.M.S. with just the odd day of feeling a little sick and a little diarrhoea. Then after a few days on three drops an hour she started with bad diarrhoea. She cut down to 2 drops and still had diarrhoea, then down to 0ne drop and still had bad diarrhoea. After that she lost heart and stopped taking M.M.S.
About a month ago she decided to try again, this time with C.D.S.
The same thing happened, she got up to 3 drops an hour with not much a problem. Then after about a week of taking the 3 drops she started with diarrhoea. She cut back to 2 drops, then one drop but still the diarrhoea persisted, so she stopped again. Just after stopping she went to the doctors for a health check. Her heart, blood pressure and weight were all spot on, but her cholesterol was high, 7.8 instead of 5.2 which is normal
I can not understand why she keeps getting diarrhoea after reaching the 3 drop level.
I can not understand how her cholesterol can be high after taking so much M.M.S.
I know she does have a problem with her liver as the first time she tried M.M.S she tried some D.M.S.O on some of her skin that is effected with her eosinophilic fasciitis and she felt pain in her liver.
We are now at a loss as to what to do now and would be grateful for any advise
