Just looked it up. The only thing it would help for in relation to EM is poor circulation as far as I can see. I read it’s for leg pain, but that’s probably in relation to poor circulation so unless that’s the cause of your EM I wouldn’t have thought it would do any good. ---

Don’t know where to begin but after seeing my GP yesterday I started looking for causes of chills and insomnia due to the “finger in a light socket” feel several times nightly (in addition to hypothyroidism, EM with flares feet, hands and mouth). He asked me if EM was in any way connected to adrenal/hormonal issues and I am seeing that you have addressed this personally in the past. I am waiting for test results to come back; any tests that I should request? He threw out ideas using cortisone, hormone replacement, etc but for now just thoughts. Any advice that I can share with him is always helpful; he is willing to listen to any connections. Thanks so much; know that all have different symptoms, different methods of relief but I am fortunate enough to finally have a doctor who will work with me on this one. Thanks for all you do.

Yes at one time I thought mine was to do with Cushing’s Syndrome causing capillary fragility and that might be causing my EM. However, I have since found that it wasn’t right and the actual cause of mine is Rheumatoid Vasculitis. Mine was blamed on so many things before they actually found out the cause. ---

No matter how bad your symptoms, you don’t want to try intravenous hydrogen peroxide. It can kill you. > WEST COLUMBIA, S.C. — When Katherine Bibeau’s body arrived at the morgue, she was covered in large, deep purplish-black bruises. But she had not been beaten, Coroner Gary Watts discovered. Rather, she had massive internal bleeding after receiving an unconventional treatment for multiple sclerosis. > Intravenous infusions of hydrogen peroxide, administered by physician James Shortt, had produced bubbles in Bibeau’s bloodstream that started her down a fatal spiral into multiple organ failure and cardiac arrest, Watts concluded. The death, he ruled, was a homicide. > **[Infusion Therapy Comes Under Fire](https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2005-jan-09-adna-peroxide9-story.html)** > > Two patients of a South Carolina doctor die after hydrogen peroxide injections. Critics call the treatment risky and without proven benefit. > **[A Prescription For Death?](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/a-prescription-for-death/)** > > Did Alternative Treatment Lead To Patient's Death? ---
