Complementary Medicine / Re: Plantar Fasciitis (Heel Spurs)
« on: 21/09/2005 18:45:30 »
Hi again,

H2O Lab Lady, Gosh I appreciate the tip, I'm willing to try anything short of surgery.  I don't care if I look like Santa's elf, as long as it works I'm going to give it a try.  

Daveshorts:  No, the pain is primarily on the ball of my heel.  It feels like when you constantly step on a rock as H20 Lab Lady described.  It feels like a bruised heel that just doesn't heal.

I've tried the arch supports, ice packs, rest, stretching, and time......none have seemed to work and I'm at my wits end.

I'll let you know how the "elf supports" work out.  

Thanks again!
Laurie

Complementary Medicine / What is Plantar Fasciitis (Heel Spurs) and what causes plantar fasciitis?
« on: 14/09/2005 15:05:30 »
Hi,
I think I have Plantar Fasciitis, sometimes called heel spurs.  I went jogging in February, and my feet started to hurt.  I attributed it to being out of shape & overweight.  I kept running and now I'm STILL regreting it.[xx(]  I wake up every morning barely able to walk.  It feels like I stepped on a rock while barefoot (on my heel).  I've tried arch supports, but thus far no luck.  Does anyone have any better suggestions?

Physiology & Medicine / Klonopin & Anxiety Attacks
« on: 15/09/2005 17:28:40 »
Hi,
I find myself almost on a daily basis getting facial tingling/numbing primarily on my right side of my face.  This has been going on off and on for over 2 years.

I've had an MRI & CAT scan to make sure there wasn't a brain tumor....  I've tried PAXIL for a 4 months but that didn't seem to help.  I did some self medicating, and found that Klonopin seems to help (I take a half of a 0.5 mg tablet, if I take more it makes me too sleepy) usually, within 10 minutes I notice the tingling seems to disappear.  

Has anyone else ever heard of treating something like this??  

Am I just having mild panic attacks on a daily basis?  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Laurie

Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Re: Why do you sometimes see a ring around the Moon?
« on: 14/09/2005 14:58:00 »
All I know is it rains when there is ring around the moon.  The Donner Party saw one the night before they were snowed in.  Why does it do that before it rains/snows?
