Hi I am sorry abour your husband. Has he had complete bloodwork looking for auto immune etc,mris,emg/nc? I agree about bring the paper? Before the apt a list of ?'s. Some ?'s I ask are about other meds,procedures,testing. Also bring any records you have. I keep a binder of every test result and apt I have been to for the next doc. As for socks i too turn mine inside out and stretch them way out. I was using a medped kind that was non binding ankle one. I could open a sock shop with all the socks I have bought but can't wear. FOr me supportive walking shoes are key too. As for the meds and your husband being out of it I would tell this doc about that as well. Sometimes for me my docs have started me on too high of a dose. In time though he may adjust to this dose but it is a good idea to tell the doc. Sorry I could not be more help and hope your husband get some answers.
