Thanks for the replies. I don't have a local neuro, and the rheumatologist I was referred to is on maternity leave until July. So maybe I'll check in with the primary care doc.

Have not had any more problems with my ankles since yesterday afternoon. But it still hurts very much to touch my feet to any solid surface like the floor or furniture or mattress, and whatever part of my foot is touching an object will burn or tingle or go a bit numb. Makes me wish I could levitate.

Was shopping for an outfit for next Easter since I now live in a much colder climate and all my warmer clothes are dark colors and about four sizes too big. It was under 30 degrees last Sunday, and the outfit I ended up wearing was solid navy and black, and the skirt kept sliding off my waist every time I stood up in church! Luckily, the store I had gift cards for was having a 50 percent off sale.

Found a skirt and top set that were black but had a pattern of small pink and white flowers. Also got a stretchy royal blue sweater that my hubby will enjoy seeing me wear. And I got a robin's egg blue tank and cardigan set.

Fortunately, I should be all set for clothes now until the swimsuit I wear to aquacise three times a week wears out probably next winter. I generally only buy stuff to replace something that has holes in it or that is too big to stay on (I once was 65 pounds heavier). And since I'm no longer able to work, I can generally get away with sweats and giant sweatshirts most of the time.
