Hey guys!
I've been reading everything I can about scoliosis and the nutritional/hormonal correlations, etc. My girlfriend has a 21 degree curvature at 20 years old. Her parents wouldn't even send her to a doctor for it when she was diagnosed at 13. I know there's not a whole lot they could have done, and its not a major curve in the grand scheme of things. But what I wanted to know is...
Has anyone here with Scoliosis noticed any of the following symptoms, which she also has:
-- Mysterious white "rash" that spreads from back and elbows over shoulders, stomach, entire back, hips. Not Tinea or other fungus, doesn't respond to eczema meds. Worse in heat.
-- Bad body temperature control, especially hot at night. Requires a fan blowing to circulate air. Also gets cold easily though...
-- Peeling fingernails, but not toenails
-- Occasional burning around rim of mouth
-- Heart murmur every 30 minutes or so
-- Horrible immune system since she was young(somewhat corrected that by getting her on some supplements-Carlson ACES+Zn and Kyolic Garlic).
I've just switched her to a multimineral that will handle the calcium/magnesium, and a separate Vitamin D 2000 from Carlson. I work at a hospital, and the word is that the FDA recommended daily VitD dose is changing from 400 to 2000, with the max going from about 2000 to 6000. Anyway, thanks for any thoughts you can provide, I just want to see her healthy and happy!
