/i have had a massive allergy to man made fibres in my foot, consequently 3 years later I have a pins and needles type sensation in my other foot. my big toe on this foot is slightly greyish not pink as are my finger nails. /i am in grat pain often, Ithought that it might be cancer as man made fibres are made of the mass hexagonal molecules which comprise of the carbon and hydrogen molecules....this is the carbon breakdown possibly of many and much in nature. MY ALLERGY WAS TO AN IMPORTED SHEEPSKIN SUBSTITUTE BOOT. /I NEARLY DIED 3 YEARS AGO. /I SUFFERED AT THE TIME FROM CO OVERLOAD. /I CAN NOW GET ALLERGIES TO A SMALL ALCOHOLIC DRINK AND MY MATTRESS AND THE INSIDES..EVEN OF LEATHER SOFA. /I HAVE HAD BLOOD TESTS NO CANCER IS SUPPOSED TO BE PRESENT. /I AM TRYING TO OBTAIN A DOPPLER TEST WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO SHOW THE PULSE OF THE VASCULAR SYSTEM. /MY MOTHER HAD ONE 2 1/2 YEARS AGO AT THE AGE OF 73 SHE HAD OPEN HEART SURGERY VIRTUALLY INSTANTLY. ///THEY WILL NOT REFER ME TO A VASCULAR SPECIALIST TO HAVE THIS TEST DONE AS i AM IN A PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL FOR COUPLE OF WEEKS DUE TO THE STRESS AND POVERTY OF NOT HAVING A MATRESS. /I AM A LITTLE BIT POOR AT THE MOMENT AND HAVE TO ASK CHARITIES FOR HELP.

Hi,

You seem to have chronic sinus with involvement & blockage of eustachian tube (that joins middle ear to nose & throat). This tube functions for normalising pressure on ear drum.When not properly treated the inflammation/infection of middle & internal ears.

Involvement of internal ear results in dizziness and any chronic suffering leads to weakness.

In this condition I would advise for a detailed ENT examination,complete blood count &other needful specific investigations.This would follow treatment with suitable antibiotic, anti inflammatory drug, anti allergic decongestant drug along with ear &nasal drops as per need.

For a personal evaluation &assessment &medicines that you need in suitable dosage you need to see a ENT specialist.

Till then, start inhaling vapor twice a day/you can take anticold decongestant pill like Synarest, over the counter for some relief.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale
