Feels like morgellons settled in ankle

[Janice]

Good morning every one.
The right side of my body always felt it was more effected by M. Now it seams as though it has gone from my upper right side and settled in my right ankle. my arms are good , my upper leg is good , left side is good, but this ankle is very heavy. I even had a dream where I was walking in glue. It seams as though it is all there, in my skinny little ankle.
Any one have any ideas?

Any chance you are hypothyroid Janice as this can be a symptom if it is untreated, even if it only borderline hypothyroid. Usually swelling would be on both sides, but it is always possible if you are very yang deficient that the kidney on that side is not putting out enough heat to prevent the ankle from swelling like that. Right side kidney is the kidney which produces heat in the body and helps control the correct temperature in the lower part of the body (along with the reproductive organs) along with the small intestine function. It is often quite difficult to get a diagnosis of hypothyroidism because doctors treat test numbers and not symptoms. If you have a lot of unexplained fatigue, hair loss (aside from M issues) and your outer third of the eyebrows are missing or sparse suspect possible thyroid involvement. The list for that is longer than just these few symptoms, but you can easily find lists of thyroid symptoms either here on the forum from prior posts by members or online by googling. At any rate checking out kidney function might not be a bad idea either, just in case. Then, too, it's always possible that the morgies, whatever they are, have blocked your circulation somewhat in that area. Just gotta love the way this stuff moves around, creating new symptoms just when you think its settled back down to normal again or as nearly normal as it will get after contracting M.

Yeah, I really think it is the M in my ankle. Actualy today my foot and toes are involved as well. There is this complete heaviness.

That's strange. I have had a large lump on my inner right ankle for 20 years. When my health drops this swells and aches.

Before I had M I decided to do a slmple herbal formula which was a combination of dandelion root and burdock root. Over time this formula pushed out of the skin what looked like small crystals (clear) which were very itchy as they emerged, about the only time I have ever had a lot of skin itching. I also had a very large crystal like small rock sized shape work out of my left ankle area on the outside of the leg. Left a scar which is still visible today. I was never sure what any of it was except I felt it was perhaps some type of toxicity in the circulatory system or the lymph system, maybe both, that had built up over the years.

Anyway, I do not doubt that the M complex could be blocking your ankle Janice. It may over time cause some pain in the joint too. Certainly these guys blocked my intestinal track awhile back. I had a lot of involvement with my feet a year into this illness, between the toes and on top too. I used a lot of black salve that year to draw out the parasites and the fungus too. I also used a foot detox machine to help clear out a lot of what was going on there. You might want to look into that Janice. It does pull a lot of debris out from the feet.

Most people complain about the knee, but I am sure all of this nasty can pick and choose which limb it wants to take over.

Two people I know both have had water removed from the knee joint.

Janice, I had the knee issue for about 3 weeks had xray, mri. the whole deal they found nothing. as quickly as it came it left. This is a very complicated thing we are dealing with not sure what will be there the next week or day. sammy

Thanks for the feed back , this m is constantly evolving into some thing new.
What I did try today was a small bit of fresh turmeric. I ate about the size of a dime and about a quarter inch thick with a big meal. It is hard on my stomach normally, but with a big meal it was a bit easier for me. I also applied one of those foot patches that I received as a gift. I never thought much about
The patches, as any thing of real substance or credible, but my ankle/ foot is fealing less congested tonight. So I don't know if it was a combination or just the turmeric that helped, but there is less of the heaviness feeling tonight.

My ankles used to be so swollen and painful. The "M" attacked most of my joints.

My right ankle is much better, but now it is in my right shoulder. I have a heating pad on it as I type. Last night it felt like my shoulder( clavicle bone) wanted to break in half. It feels like pressure pushing up. This is so weird.
