MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS ?
An unusually interesting case occurred with a patient of mine. It has nothing to do with Bowen Therapy, but I am including it so that someones may benefit from the information. I diagnosed her foot problem with Morton’s neuroma, which is an enlarged nerve between the 3rd and 4th metatarsals. This is a fairly common foot condition, and I felt quite proficient in its diagnosis and treatment options. She had the usual numbness, tingling, and occasional burning in her 2nd, 3rd, & 4th toes in both feet. I performed my usual and customary non-surgical treatments and she seemed to improve. I the made her orthotics to keep pressure from the nerves and instructed her to return in two months if any problems still occurred and we would discuss surgical treatment.
About two years hence a friend of hers was seeing me for a problem, and she told me the rest of the story. Apparently my patient with the neuromas experienced progression of symptoms up the ankles and legs. Her family doctor referred her to a neurologist who diagnosed Multiple Sclerosis and prescribed drugs for this. She went to Stanford University for a 2nd opinion, and was again diagnosed with M.S. She tried other medications which did not help. Then, a year or so later it began affecting her hands. At this point she went to the Mayo Clinic in Arizona, and again she was diagnosed with M.S., and was given some other medications. About the time she lost the use of her thumbs, she went to my naturopath friend, Jean.
After Jean completed her work-up she was surprised that the lady did not show any of the usual findings that go along with neuropathies. She then asked our patient about what was happening in her life when all of this began. As it turns out she was building her dream home at the time of a real estate slump, and she was the not so proud owner of two houses built on speculation, which were not selling. All kinds of stress were abundant in her life at the time. She recalled the first sign of the tingling in her toes when she walked bare footed across the Mexican paver’s tile in the hallway of the new home. Jean then tested her for allergy to the tile, and sure enough, she was. Within days following a clearing her symptoms began to reverse, and within a month she was totally symptom free. However, as soon as she went back to walking on the tile floor the tingling in the toes returned so, she ended up selling the house.
