i am suffering from constant recurring subluxations in my upper body ,
to the point i am scared to go outside .
Every time it gets hot ( sometimes not ) my body just goes weak (
usually round the serrtus anterior or cervical area )and gradually
starts becoming unstable and sublaxing ..

weight of clothing seems to make it worse too though i think this may
have something to do with heat .

does any one have any suggestions as to what i should do , I can't
figure out who it is exaclty i should be seeing other than perhaps
someone trained in neurology and rheumatology .

thank you

did you see the movie Life Stinks with Mel Brooks?  remember the part when
Mel is in the ER and everytime he says anything to the doctor he gets
another 500cc Thorazine injection,,,,,

You neck sometimes goes out during hot weather? Or is it your pelvic
region? I don't get it. This appears to be some kind of joke.

no all the time pratically , it's jsut my upper body that goes out my
neck, shoudlers , ribs the whole thing piece by piece like someone
switching power off

I wish this was joke because i have better things to do than write
about things that arent; even funny , unless you think i got some
hidden talents :o

it has just occured to me that it might wellbe about sweating or loss
of something like salt through the sweating ...

the reason i'm thinking this is because i live in cold country and
this still happens , of ocurse this is just a theory i jsut came up
with but it sure beats nothing

i made a stupid joke but i think the person is suffering and needs help,  if
this person has a celiac disease dx then they need help,  this type of
clothing sensitivity is a symptom of Type 6 ADD.  ADD is related to Celiac.

the amino acid GABA is a quick fix for this type of thing as is a high
protein low carb diet.  i was only kidding about Thorazine,  talk to your
doctor about Risperdal or Zyprexa but it is not a sure thing.
Anticonvulsants like Depakote can also help but it's best to avoid all
gluten products if  possible.

You're a troll, right?

Do trolls post from the University of Wisconsin-Madison? That's where this
post came from.

cherry is an idiot,  this person is obviously freaking out and needs help

thanks you very much for all that info , I don't mind the odd joke
lord knows if we didn't try and see the funny side you'd go insane (
or at least i would considering my problems )

To makes thngs clearer I should probably detail other problems, it
wasn;t really until 99 after lot of shoulder  rehab that i started
noticing this problem, or in other words with great progress came this
increased sensitivity which may or may not have been due to the nature
of  rehab which was primarily focussed on light pnf nere firing type
stretches.
beofre that when my shoulders and joints were continuall  lax and
aching there was no awareness of this problem making htings worse and
I don;t knwo whether this was due to the pain etc masking it or jus
the fact I very little sensory awareness or prioperception ( sp ? )

During the time period when i made this big progress I started
reciving Prolotherapy using a solution of dextrose ( made from corn
syrup ) and lidocaine.

Although this helped me overcome a big stumbling block with rehab it
caused me , or the diet I was on ( high  protein  ) to start having
breathing problems / gasritis ,  followed by peripheral neuropathy
after trying to take pp inhibitors and ant-histamines to stop it.

it was after this period of about 7-8 months when my symptoms became
bearable and I started rehabbing again that I noticed how i had become
supersensitve to clothing and heat.

In truth the heat issue had been there for a good year before 99 but
the clothing issue was something that was pretty new along with this
thermal sensitivity that had become lot worse.

I still don;t know how this neuropathy / g asritis  , alsont with
perhaps the prolo fit into this whole picture  but I do know or at
least feel that they are the side effects of something else and might
possibly relate to this problem and my long term ligament laxity
issue.

It's becaue of this I am confused just whoI should see, in many ways
provided there's no terrible side effects , I'd rather jsut go through
each possibility like Gillan Barre et and treat it myself just to see
what helps rather than wast time getting 202 different diagnosis and
opnions.

I checked your suggestion but i saw no reference about clothing or
instability as side effect of that disease

Don Wiss is the gluten expert and a good guy ,  i can only make stupid jokes
and mock fallacies,  i only understand my own body and admit to not being
interested in conditions i do not have.  i strongly suspect i have untreated
ADD and gluten intolerance(celiac disease),  be warned i do not use the
services of medical doctors and find them useless except for fixing broken
bones and cuts.  if that makes me a nonentity in this group that's fine with
me.

i am glad you are bright enough to catch my stupid joke about the {*filter*}  I
would hate to see you ride the medical merry go round and wind on on a
dangerous drug like depotke or some other crap.  when i was in my 20s i was
victimized by some very dishonest doctors after a car wreck,  they turned me
off medicine for good. just so you know where i'm coming from.  way out in
left field,  ok.

clothing and type 6 ADD is from Dr Daniel G Amen's new book pp141.  his web
site www.brainplace.com may also have the info,  btw everybody in the world
has ADD so it's only a question of what type and extent and how you deal
with it.  and didn't your doctor warn you to keep away from quacks and nuts
on the internet?

i am going to make a strong effort to avoid gluten and milk for the next
year and see what happens.  DrC is another good guy in this group,  he has
some basic guidelines for diet and i lost ten pounds of belly fat since
following them.  imho you will get good results by experimenting with your
diet and finding what works for you.

When I see someone use the term "subluxations" I suspect he or she has
been to a chiropractor.  My immediated thought is that you had  some
kind of manipulation that did some damage.
