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.

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 ----- Original Message ----- From: kent <mailto:ke...@shaw.ca> 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). Kent
