  Denise,

  When I go ice cold from paralytic polio it is classically called 'brown out'. 
All along my spine and deep within to the core of me is ice cold like touching 
ice in the freezer.  It physical reality terms it means I am loosing brain and 
central nervous system cells that allopathic medicine indicates can never be 
regained.  Also my meridians are closed down and some brain connections are 
compromised.  I use BodyTalk to reactive them.  It's very hard on the body and 
takes time to regain some of the lost information.  Energy levels remain low 
for weeks.  BT is the only relief I have found.  Food and water help 
marginally, as does a hot bath each hour, but when the core is shutting down, 
it's time for bigger guns - contacting the innate wisdom within and seeing if 
it is prepared to restart the system.



  Warmly with eHugs,

  Christine

      Thanks, Kent.  I've decided NOT to start the gabapentin....my neurologist 
could not guarantee that it would help and, well, I've been living with the 
'cold at the core feet' for 8 months now - I'm gonna continue trying to deal 
with it by 'mind over matter'!  The sensations in my feet are primarily that of 
ICE COLD....so cold in fact, that at times it feels that if I bump them, they 
will shatter - much like the Robert Patrick character in Terminator 2 when he 
gets covered in nitrogen gas!

      I've been working sooo long to get off of all prescribed medications 
(other than the supplements I now have to take as a result of my weight loss 
surgery) AND combined with the fact that I am not amuzed with the side effects 
that I read (about the gabapentin)....I guess I've decided to take charge of my 
own medical treatment!

      That and I am in the process of finding a classic-trained homeopathic 
practitioner....

      Heck, with CS, the support of everyone here and some 'tweaking' that I'll 
do on my own - to paraphrase a movie (who's title I forget)...."Doctors!  I don 
need no stinkin' doctors!"

      Temps have been totally strange lately....last Monday it was -30C and 24 
hours later (Tues morning) it was -2C and freezing rain.  This morning it is 
-6C with a forecast high of +2 and more freezing rain slated for this week!

      Mother Earth definately has her undies in a knot!

      Denise

        Hi Denise,
        I have been on gabapentin, since I suffered a spinal cord injury six 
years ago.  If your feet feel like they are "burning" similar to the body 
warming up from frostbite, then the gabapentin may help.  It is primarily used 
for neuropathic pain.  I know for myself CS has no effect on my particular 
"neuropathic" situation.  I'm not sure how bad (liver and kidney) gabapentin 
is, perhaps Dr. Kenney or Mr. Harris can be of some assistance here. On a 
different note, Good luck with the cold weather I called my sister in Regina 
and she said it was -25 (I'm originally from there).
