I seem to recall you mentioning some sort of fibrosis growths in your feet? If so, then, these may have some compressive mechanical actions on nerves. So the more you use your feet the more the potential for pain. This may respond somewhat to Lidoderm patches... so you might try them.

I was having a slow steady improvement most of April and May, but June hasn't been so kind yet and the past 3 days have been particularly bad and my struggles at work were reminders that I have a long way to go in getting better.
I honestly don't know the cause of increased symptoms, but the week prior to the increased pain I went on vacation for a week. During that time I indulged in more junk food, more alcohol, and more time on my feet than I have previously allowed myself prior to the vacation. It could be a combination of all 3 or just the natural progression and or waxing and waning of this awful disease. I guess the most important thing now is that I'm back on track towards treating my body right and taking it easy on harmful stimuli.
So here's a journal entry so I can look back and find clues to managing this soul draining disease.
