I don't get it on vacation, and it takes a while being home before it returns. I think it is from climbing stairs (no stairs on vacation). (it is my old surgical foot that had the instep tumor removed 50 yrs ago! ) Rubbing on magnesium lotion seems to fix it too, so far.
I am going to be 66 next month. Some days it seems everything is falling apart.   |
Advance happy birthday Mrs.D!!!
Its funny you said about "...falling apart". That is exactly how my husband joke about our conditions - "we are falling apart - but dont worry, our two bodies can make one whole person".
On some days, we can laugh about it, but on most days (at least in my case), its a struggle.
On another topic, just a bit of information... I joined a forum on non-tuberculosis mycobacteria. Its a strangely good that inspite of the very strong dosage of antibiotics that we are all taking, I have not encountered anyone who has PN as a side effect of the antibiotics. Some are even taking more combinations and more toxic but no PN. Some of course have the optic neuropathy as a result of the ethambutol. But not the PN as same as in our league. isnt that strange?
