Hi Catra,
Thanks so much!
I had read about your IME and was hurting for you.
I really felt I had to have the skin punch biopsies. Long story. Bottom line, need the info. I wrote a thread on this.
Yes, I understand the "immobilization" as my ankles/feet get very stiff and it can be difficult to position them in my sleep.
I have recently gotten them to remain a bit more mobile with massage, which can be tricky in and of itself, before and after sleep.
Sometimes, I massage them in the night as well.
I am making my list of "Fun and Joyful" activities after seeing this video shared by Littlepaw -- a great reminder to me!
I have had too much stress this year and have just been trying to make it through each day. I need to switch it up a bit and stimulate some dopamine!
Love All Around,
