Paresthesia, abnormal sensations

@dbar48 it might be worth checking to see where you could be seen sooner, even if the drive itself may be more uncomfortable, the fewer days of discomfort would hopefully be worth it. Will you let us know what you find out?

@amandajro Sometimes things move slow up here. Some of the doctors even work just two days a week. I'm surprised I'm actually getting in that soon, some people have to wait longer.

I have read that there have been cases of Kratom being contaminated with salmonella and even more cases of it being contaminated with lead. How does one find Kratom that one is sure is safe and contains the right dosage? (Fortunately I don’t live in one of the several states where it is a controlled substance though it may become a federally controlled substance)

I have a vibrating sensation in the souls of my feet and my ears. I also have tinnitus. I have not found help anywhere.

The vibrating sensation may go away after a while, I have had it in my toes, calves and hip which lasted for about 2 wks. and is very annoying. I also have the tinnitus but it is not terrible and unfortunately I have no solution for that.😕 Helen

Thanks for your info. I simply find it so weird that when the tinnitus gets very loud the vibrating sensation appears. I have had tinnitus constantly for about 33 years. No silence for me from that moment on.

willows, I am so sorry, as tinnitus is a curse! Have you ever seen an ENT for it? I’ve read there can be many causes and lots of suggestions on how to deal with it but I have not seen a dr. nor have I tried anything yet myself. Helen

Helen I do hope your tinnitus gives you a break once in awhile. Mine was caused by loud music on one evening. I was with friends and we were there for a few hours. It damaged my ears and constant tinnitus has been with me ever since. If only people realized the damage sustained to their hearing by loud noise!

Thank you Willows for the kind thought. We take our ears and hearing for granted until something changes. I had an MRI yesterday and I had been nervous thinking it might make my tinnitus worse and unfortunately it did, not to a large degree but it is definitely louder. But, I still consider myself blessed because my husband has had to wear hearing aids for the past 3 yrs. and so has my twin sister for 10 yrs. Hearing problems are stressful for them, often they can’t hear well all the time even with aids. Helen
