IDK, it's a bit crazy, eh?

I can not for one second wear shoes or boots, they just throw my feet into a huge flair!

I wish there was something else so I didn't walk around looking so goofy lol

Eh, who cares how one looks. You may start a trend. My feet used to hurt a lot, felt like walking on ground glass....now they only ache and are mostly cold and dead...except for that darn bone pain.

Have you tried MrsD.'s trick of epsom salt soaks?

I haven't, but I just had a trip to Costco and picked up two 4 lb bags, I'm going to give that a go tonight!

I have that glass, sharp rock pain with every step

One step at a time, haha!

Well dead feet may not be what you have in mind for the end product of neuropathy, but it beats pain.

Man a low front is moving in, I can feel it. Every joint aches. I have to hit the naprosyn, which they don't like me taking on IVIg. I don't care, my joints are killing me.

We have bad weather on tap for Dec. 23 and Dec.24 and my family has to travel to get to our house. I can literally feel the low front approaching.

We have a foot to 20 inches on the ground. I drove my Suburu Forester into the culvert by accident two days ago....great car, I just drove out. What a wonderful car.

The joys of living on the Tundra.

How is this...

Tingle Bells, Tingle bells,
Tingle all the way,
How much fun it is to walk
in fur lined Crocs all day.

I tried to do Handel's Messiah, but that was too complex.

I bought a Toro electric broom/shovel a few years ago like this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...PMBMB671WQ4YQ8. What I didn't like was that it had a one-hand handle sort of like a weed wacker and found that it was hard on my wrist. But this one looks like more of a lawn mower type of handle that might be a better ergonomic design: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...PMBMB671WQ4YQ8

Oh how I wish we could use a snow broom.

Nope we had to pay an arm and a leg for some huge honkin' self propelled avalanche remover. Does our 150 foot driveway in 15 minutes. That still did not keep me from driving into the culvert. Nor the plow from hitting our mailbox, twice. We are putting a huge bulls eye target on it, so the plow guy gets our point.

The self propelled snow dragon was a good purchase as hubby just found out he has clogged arteries. He would have been out shoveling our last deluge of a foot.

cyclelops you are one of the few people i ever see or hear mention that standing/walking on broken bone pain that i have. Yet our causes are very different.

Yesterday i was feeling that big toe being squeezed by pliers type of pain.
Today while i was putting on my socks i noticed that my big toe nail was black and the rest of the toe is bruised a beautiful purplish color, so apparantly i broke a toe for at least the 6th time in the last few years. I have no idea how, hit it? dropped something on it? I dont know. The joys of dead numb feet. I go to the pcp tomorrow to get a referral and cant get ortho appointment till monday....not that they can do anything for it, just to make sure it isnt something worse.
