Nueropathy from paper towels

Posted , 1 user is following.

So about a month ago I overloaded myself with toxic chemicals by using paper towels to smoke. My hand injuries prevented me from using a lighter. I've been suffering from a number of symptoms, all of which my doctors failed to find any proof of.

The transformation came on quick. Following a harsh fever and headache I noticed a heavy brain fog and changes in my vision - colors and lights became dull, detection of movement was and is blurred and my other senses of taste, smell and hearing have also been compromised.

I'm 27, drank heavily for a few years, but haven't had a single drink in more than 2. From the drinking I've suffered what I believed to be peripheral nueropathy. I love to walk, and for the most part, have managed to walk this off.

Prior to smoking the towels as crazy as it sounds I was walking up to 30 miles a day. It was rough on me at first but the walking toughened my body's ability to push through it with little to no lasting muscle pain afterwards. Now, I can't seem to walk more than 5 to 10 miles without sturing up a piercing headache, dizzyness and lasting muscle-leg pain which puts me out of commission for the next few days.

I guess I was just wondering if any of you on here know and or have had any experience with what's happening to me, because none of my doctors seem to know/can figure it out.
