Q: Migraines , IBS , and raynaud's
asked by: DoctorQuestion on December 2nd, 2008
I suffer from the above conditions frequently. I also have weakness in my shoulders, full arm to fingers and legs and find daily tasks a struggle and a few days ago i lost the feeling in part of my left hand near where my thumb is for a few hours. Is it possible all these are connected? and what could it be? I had been to physio with nothing helping. I have also had my womb and L ovary removed. I hope you can help, Thank you

Muscular and Nerve Disorders Answer A5046
Your question involves whether your migraines, chronic ibs, and raynauds is related.





The answer to this question is that all of these conditions can be related. All of these can be related to agitation to the central nervous system via a number of factors. You may not have experienced results with therapies due to a lack of identification of the underlying factors that may be causing stress to your body.





Many experts agree that many times, treatments fail to address the "foundational" aspects of health, such as:





1. Adequate water intake


2. Reduction of mental/emotional stress


3. Elimination of external toxic exposures from your home/work environment.


4. Elimination of toxins in the body currently as a result of number 3.


5. Eating non-processed, natural foods that support optimal nutrient intake, which supports normal body function.





These factors may be much more important to your symptoms than you may realize. For example, you mentioned that you use cigarettes. These have been shown to dramatically drain antioxidant levels in the body. Low antioxidant levels for long periods of time can cause significant strain on your body.





It may be a good start to begin addressing the above factors, and ruling out gaps in your foundational health points.
