Hi Celia,
Weren't you the one who mentioned having the sensation of tight bands around your chest?
I remember responding to that post by saying that you were the first one I'd read on either M.C. site to mention having that sensation of bands that far up in the body.
The M.C. people I'd seen report tight bands in the past had been referring to an area from about just below the ribs on down into the abdomen if I remember correctly.
Don't let this frighten you, but if you'll remember, one of the sites that Wayne recently posted was from the Multiple Sclerosis Resources site.
I got to tooling around in that site, checking out the links in it, and came upon this "MS Hugs" symptom that described what I had been feeling (pre-diet) for a while before I got on the M.I. diet.
This included a couple of descriptions from those who'd had the symptom. Interestingly, one of them thought that it was her asthma as I'd thought it was some kind of pulmonary obstructive disease myself.
There's a "Best Bet Diet" that I think has it's own site, and the diet is amazingly free of the things that I can't eat.
The connections between all these diseases raise LOTS of questions, don't they?
I expect to come back from the conference in Dallas with lots more answers.
Yours, Luce
