Today my foot feels absolutely fine!!! That's the left one (with the bottle falling on it) But before,,, the right one was burning for a bit. I feel better not wearing socks but I'm afraid to go barefoot around here. But they're okay. No big thing.

BUT I DO HAVE A QUESTION FOR ALL OF YOU OUT THERE IN NEUROPATHY LAND. The other day when I was making a wash, I accidentally ran over my left foot with the laundry basket. It's on wheels and I bumped the laundry basket, the wheels ran over my left foot and I winced. It hurt for approx 5 seconds. I did a "oh my god" moment and that was that.

Now fast forward to dropping the bottle ON THE SAME FOOT!!
Could I have originally injured the nerves when I did a wheelie over them, and then when the bottle dropped IT JUMPSTARTED THE NERVES?? I guess I'm just trying to learn more and more about exactly what is happening with my feet.s

Oh, there is a 75 year old man across the street who is diabetic. He looks 50. Looks healthy as a horse but he came down with neuropathy, the same time he was diagnosed diabetic. I said 'really??" He said "yeah, I didn't know I was diabetic so I went to the doctor and they did blood work and I'm diabetic. He has never been on any diabetic drugs. His sugar is never over 125 to 130. He does it with diet alone, and sometimes he goes off but he lost 35 lbs last year (he has since put it back) but when I see him, I shout across the street "what's the number this morning??" and he'll go 95 and I go 118, and we both laugh.

When he first got the neuropathy (in hands by the way, not his feet), his hands hurt and they burn. He went to another state for some kind of light therapy. He did this a few times but then he stopped because it stopped working.

Then 6 months ago, his legs gave way and they gave him all kinds of stress tests (his back was killing him). Well, his heart is just fine, the doctor told him "you have neuropathy in your lower back". (I have never heard of this).

So they doctor sent him to physical therapy and told him to walk. He doesn't walk. He looks perfectly fine but his hands and back always bother him and his hands always burn.

So this morning, I go across the street with my little bottle of Methocobalim B-12 and I start explaning to him (and to his son), all about the methyl. They are writing all the information down and his son will go online and buy it. I told them. "Listen, there is no guarantee, but if you want to try something, this is what you try" And they read the bottle. THEN THE GUY WITH THE NEUROPATHY SAYS TO ME "MELODY, I AM BODERLINE ANEMIC".

I asked him "Nick didn't your doctor ever tell you to take B-12 shots, or take B-12. and he said "No, he told me nothing". So I said: "Take the B-12 methyl, give it some time, you never know, might help"

So I'm sure, sometime today, someone at that house, went to iherb.com and ordered the methyl.

Am I nuts or shouldn't he (when he was told he was borderline anemic), well, shouldn't he have been told about the B-12 from his doctor???
