Wow, Thank you for the story. Sounds like a rough road for you. I will do my best to not let things get to this point. The body is a crazy beast isn't it!
Since 2007 I've noticed my fingertips and sometimes heels cracking/spliting as a result of Gluten diet. Cut out Gluten and this goes away. Also, loss of some sensation in my fingertips as well.
Has anyone else presented with this and any tips outside the obvious Gluten free diet?
Cheers
