Interesting. Mine's not bad and has subsided now. I just found it strange... but apparently not so.

hi all pain in feet people  ,
is it the whole sole of foot or mainly the heel- especially the inside of the heel? and is it worse in the mornings?
i used to get that pain pre-MP. it was plantar fasciitis... which is inflammation of a tissue that attaches to the heel of foot. (my job involved a lot of standing)... but it had resolved completely.
since being on the MP i have had several flare ups of it for no reason... ? Th1 inflammatory disease works in mysterious ways! .. well less mysterious now with all the MP research.
i find not walking around barefoot, gentle calf stretches, ice or heat, and orthotics to prevent rolling in of the feet all help. or increase ben and wait for it to pass.

plantar fasciitis - perhaps for some....
I had this AND all around horrible bottom of the foot pain. Indeed the plantar fasciitis seemed to get better on the MP before the rest of the foot pain.
For me using SuperFeet insoles seemed to help the plantar fasciitis and I hardly walk around the house without them.

The magic thing is that the foot sensitivity totally disappears, and it becomes perfectly comfortable to even walk down the asphalt surface of the road (but not in the Californian mid-summer ).

Yes, I am waiting for that day (but not on hot asphalt)! (I do sneak a barefoot walk around the house now and again and could not do that until about a year into the protocol, but am sticking with the SuperFeet 99% of the time--that is, until I'm closer to 100%.) Thank you Dr. Marshall for the protocol!!!
Oh, and aside from the pain, the soles of my feet were very hot for six years straight. Just the other night I noticed that the soles of my feet were cold (it's getting cold here and they were "normal" cold). That's great progress.

Yeah, the heel pain felt like plantar fasciitis which is something I did suffer from a few years back. This time it was not as severe or long lasting (a day and a half vs. weeks), so I expect it IP related to that.
But the full sole pain was different, clearly MP related, but nothing I'd ever experienced or could relate to something from the past. It was just weird, but I see others have had it pre-MP. So it makes me think it may have been in my future... if not for the MP.

Good ideas! Here's another...
My massage therapist showed me this trick for heel pain--- use three golf balls in a sock and knot it tight. I would roll my heel on top of the golf balls, sock on the floor and would get a lot of relief from this also....

I had a chiropracter recommend something similar - to roll your whole foot on a single golf ball - I don't remember why - I was seeing him for back pain not foot pain - but have practiced the foot exercise and it feels great. Also another trick - especially great for that trouble spot in your shoulder is to place a tennis ball between you and the wall. Leverage your weight and the right amount of pressure on the problem area and roll back/forth - up/down. Works like a charm - Placing ball in a sock will allow more flexable positioning mobility.

| I had severe feet pain and it ended up being a disk problem in my back? I did not have back pain at the time, just foot pain, mostly in the heels.

Speaking of foot pain, I've had sporadic tightness and spasming in the arches of my feet the last couple months which seems to correlate to IP. I've noticed that over the last 5 or so years that my arches have gone flat when standing. I use to have good arches. I wrote it off as aging and being on my feet alot. Well, guess what? Along with the tightness in the arches I'm noticing the strength in my arches is coming back, and as Dr. Marshall says, I can walk barefoot without much problem. It feels like my muscles are strengthening in my arches and doing what they are suppose to be doing again. Hooray, another Marshall Protocol success!

I too have had spasms in my arches lately and I have had life-long flat feet (even having to do exercises for them as a kid with the hope of improving the muscle tone--lots of walking on my toes, picking up objects with my toes), and now I am getting the hint of some arches. This seems quite bizarre to me as it would seem that I was literally born with flat feet (the doctors said the muscles where there to create an arch, but just fell flat).
As for COPD, I do not have sarcoidosis--that is, I haven't been diagnosed with it; instead, I've been diagnosed with what you see in my signature line, which includes mild COPD. Pea soup; just another shade of purple.

| How long have you had mild COPD? what kind of treatment? how has it limited your lifestyle. Thanks, Debbie

I was diagnosed with mild COPD in 2004, however, I believe I probably had it for some time. There is nothing I can do as far as I know, as I've been chemically sensitive to the drugs used to treat asthma and COPD. I'm counting on the MP in get rid of this for me. (And I hope if I ever need a mild steroid spray for my lungs as I go through the MP that I can find one with propellants that do not contain so many of the chemicals that make me ill or that my MCS has progressed enough that the inhalers won't bother me.)
I can't tell if the COPD or the chronic fatigue limited my lifestyle. From a young age I had trouble hiking mountains for instance and would have to frequently stop for a breather no matter how in shape I seemed to be in. Was that CFS or mild COPD? I don't know. And so it goes.

| I think my COPD is "mild" because I used to have chronic bronchitis (for about 20 years and then it just stopped about 14 years ago) and I never smoked (though I lived with smokers as a child). COPD is often seen as progressive. I have some concern about being on the MP and activating all that through the MP, as there were times when I had brochitis that I literally feared for my life (my primary concern is how uncomfortable I was and I don't want to go through that particular sort of discomfort again). However, my heart was going to kill me soon and had my heart not got me, my kidneys would have. The MP is definitely helping those organs (I believe), and so if my lungs get me at some time during the process, so be it. (I don't think that will happen; I'm just not prone to excitment about it.) I'm giving it my best shot by being on the MP. Claire

Claire,
I too grew up with very heavy smoking - and then I married a smoker. I have always had bad sinus infections, respitory infections with a hacking smokers cough But I have never smoked. When I got divorced I saw a doctor who said he did not know how I was even able to breath due to nasal blockage from inflamation from inhaled 2nd hand smoke.
About this same time was when they started regulating government facilities as non smoking. So I suddenly went from heavy exopsure of smoke to no smoke. I then began to become hyper sensitive to it. Whenever around it - having attacks & not being able to breath - becoming sick w/infection after any exposure of a couple of hours or more.
Lifestyle in past 8 or so years, I really have NO 2nd hand smoke exposure. My sinus infections have tapered off to where I haven't had a bad one in a good 3 years. I can still generate quite a bad cough with any heavy sinus drainage, but that seems to have decreased within the last couple of years. [ although I do seem to notice mucous lately - & was thinking it may be herx].
Not sure why I am narrating all this but I have always thought the cough was influenced by my early life smoke exposure. Not sure if any similarity to what you have referred to. MagsmomLast edited on Tue Oct 14th, 2008 06:40 by magsmom
