>I have some questions for the group. Before I ask the questions, here is
why I ask these questions. I received a Mayo Clinic e-mail with the
>following URL. It has some site has some interesting information about
burning feet:

>http://www.mayohealth.org/mayo/9706/htm/hot_feet.htm
>
>We have a lot of these symptoms with TM. The thing that I found most
interesting was the mention of Diabetes mellitus. When I saw the term
Mellitus,
>this was a red flag to try to find out whether this is like TM or MS.
>
>I did a search on the web for Diabetes mellitus and found this site:
http://pharminfo.com/pubs/msb/diabetes.html

>Here are just a few sentences from the URL that look interesting:
>
>"IDDM is an autoimmune disease in which the body attacks and ultimately
destroys the beta-cells. While the classic symptoms-- hyperglycemia and
>ketosis--can develop rapidly, the disease itself is a chronic process that
may be present for years. Symptoms occur late in the course of the disease"
>
>" Another promising avenue is oral tolerance therapy, which is being used
for other autoimmune diseases (rheumatoid arthritis and multiple
>sclerosis)."
>
>Since this group seems to have more answers to questions that most Dr's,
here are my questions:
>
>Has anyone with TM been tested for Diabetes mellitus?
>
>Should we be tested for this - in other words, could TM really be this
other diagnosis?
>
>Is it worth looking for more info on this - or have others done research
only to find that it's not worthwhile?
