Katybug Posted July 14, 2013 Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 Have they taken a biopsy to test for small fiber neuropathy? There are also things such as allodynia and hyperaesthesia that might make you have this kind of sensation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaos Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 High lactic acid levels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomtoGiuliana Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 When my symptoms were more severe I remember that sensation as well--especially in my arms and upper back. I had a lot of neurological and metabolic tests too at the time and all were negative. I agree w Chaos--I remember wondering at the time if it was lactic acid causing the sensation b/c it felt a bit like how very fatigued muscles can feel after vigorous exercise.

Guest Alex Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 if the problem is a build up of lactic acid, pickle juice is recommended for that. It's the vinegar in the pickle juice that helps - you can read about it on many cycling forums. For POTS-ies that's killing two birds with a stone as you get the extra salt as well http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/06/09/phys-ed-can-pickle-juice-stop-muscle-cramps/http://www.examiner.com/article/10-surprising-fitness-tips-drink-pickle-juicehttp://www.funadvice.com/q/what_health_benefits_does_pickleAlex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomtoGiuliana Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Very interesting Alex. Once I had a bad episode when visiting a friend, told her salt w/ fluids usually helps, and she served me a large homemade pickle. I felt so much better. Attributed it only to the salt!
