Though Tl poisoning symptoms are a tingling and needle like pain in the feet, rather than hotness. Thalium is not a super rare toxin, but maybe rare enough to elude standard tox screens. Heavy metals can, in general, accumulate over long periods of time.

[NOTE: This is the first part of a 2-part series.]

… talk about cliff-hanger endings ! …

I hope the second part tells us how itended — I can’t imagine being in such pain for 10 years, and remaining not only functionally sane but intellectually productive, as you have.

If misery loves company, once I had an episode where it felt like my body was being scorched on a radiator. It was really painful.

After spending some time googling– my doctor had no idea what I was talking about– I decided it was probably a bizarre reaction to a medication. So, I stopped taking it and drank boatloads of fluids and tomato juice for the potassium, thinking it might help. It seemed to and after a few days it eventually it went away.

But, 10 years with your feet on fire, oh god. I can’t imagine.

It does interfere with my sleep but once too far gone to stay awake I sleep deeply for 6 to 8 hours. Burning feet is a place I do not want to experience.

At least I can ignore it most of the time. And it doesn’t interfere with sleep.
