It is well worth reading Sally K. Norton's book on Oxalates. "Toxic Superfoods".

Prof Mary Hickson of the dietetics department of Plymouth University says that appetite can diminish in our 70 and 80s partly because our sense of taste and smell is less sensitive. 

A study by the University of Sheffield found that many older adults do not eat sufficient protein. More than half of older adults aren't eating sufficient protein. 

Hickson says that the proportion of water in the body is less for older people so it's easy to become dehydrated. 

Bone health calcium is important and guidelines from the British Dietetic Association recommend three portions of milk-based products a day.

It was around 2015 timeline that I began to have sciatica, managed to solve it with the inversion table in 2016. 

2016, people were saying that I would have to have a carpel tunnel operation on my hands, I solved that situation with a very old remedy of golden sultanas soaked in gin and have it daily ever since. No operation required. 

Yesterday, I was given EMG tests and clinical examination and I've been diagnosed with non-benign cramp fasciculation syndrome. It is a peripheral nerve condition and is a chronic condition that impacts upon the muscles, cramping, painful muscles etc.

The last month I've been having weekly massages, massage and stretching the muscles can help the condition, although sometimes when stretching the muscles at the swimming pool I also get the cramps. I can be driving or walking, the cramping is spontaneous. 

In my previous research back in 2016, I found that the nervous system likes soft fruits like melon, but I will have to re-look at my previous research to remind myself of the appropriate foods again. I will also have to relook at what supplements that can help the nervous system the most. It's all archived on my blog. 

Young healthy people can also get this condition, so it is not just something that some people can get as they get older. 

I'm having another MRI scan of lower back too, as the neurologist pointed out that the last MRI was taken 7 years ago. 

There is a cross-over with Issac's syndrome, also called neuromyotonia, a neuromuscular disorder. The condition makes your nerves fire too much, which overstimulate your reflexes and muscles. It causes muscle stiffness, muscle cramps, slow reflexes and cause excessive sweating and change in heart rate. One of the causes can be a Vitamin B12 deficiency. Although I don't suffer from excessive sweating. 

What is interesting about this is that in Isaac's syndrome, abut 50% of people have antibodies that target channels that control movement of the electrolyte potassium into and out of your nerve. The movement of potassium in and out of the the nerve affects nerve firing. That is interesting because there was a study where they found that people with Rheumatoid Arthritis had a potassium deficiency. I don't have RA, I have OA.

The medical profession usually treat the condition with pharmaceuticals, even though they're prescribing for symptoms without knowing what is causing the condition. Hence, I'm not up for taking any pharmaceuticals. 

It was first discovered in America in 1991, although on-line it says there is far more research that has to be done. 

Please share if you know anyone with this condition or have any recommendations on it.
