I have been using the Morton's lotion for quite a while, and it is extremely helpful. I am so mad at myself over this. The fact is I have no idea what is actually going on with my feet and legs and something like this really reminds me how fragile and unstable this whole CMT thing really is. I have been moving around on "capital" - strength from being big boned and really strong despite the neuropathy. My feet and ankles have visibly weakened. Four years ago I was joking with the neurologist about having to lose weight so my husband could push my wheelchair. Today he is putting it in the van.
Thank you so much, Mrs. D., for your quick response! I have a bottle of vitamin C around here...
