Just want to add mine too.
I stole Mrs D's pix (hope that's OK with you, Mrs D?), cause I haven't any of my own & don't know how to do grafix. How's the weather on your side of the pond?

I wish I could report that I felt better but I am afraid that my feet are as painful as they have ever been. Nothing I try makes the slightest difference despite all my research on the net and good advice from many people. I am also on beta blockers at the moment while I try and make up mind whether to have and angiogram and stents put into 3 arteries. They are rather “furred” up.

Most of you will know how miserable life becomes when in constant pain and I guess that’s why I don’t post much these days. It is very difficult to get the motivation. I do however read every post both here and on the “old” BT to see how others are doing and also in the hope of reading one day that one of you has discovered a miracle relief for PN pain!! It is comforting to see how well this forum has grown and settled down in recent months. Everyone involved in setting this up and moderating it, along with all the regular posters, deserve a huge amount of credit.

Thanks again to all the well wishers and BTW Bob, the weather here is very wet but getting warmer – how I love warm rain!!

Tony - happy birthday. And, I gotta ask...is this the same Tony that I correspond with via email????

Hi Dan

You are darn right it is!! The one and only very grateful receiver of your great emails!
Hope you are doing well. I will email you some more news very soon.

Take care and thanks for the wishes.

Tony

Tony, just wondering, have you ever tried Lidoderm patches on your feet?

Alan used to take 2 patches and cover every toe on each feet (before he went to sleep). It really did work for him!!!!This was over 4 years ago when his PN was real bad and before he found his chiropractic/neurologist.

Now I hijacked his patches for my sciatica. Couldn't exist without them on certain days when the humidity is high.

Thanks Melody

Yes I have tried lidocaine patches with little success but anyway they have now been taken off the market over here in the UK. I was told by my pharmacist about 6 months ago that there was no demand for them and even my own doctor said he had never prescribed them!

Thanks for the thought because I will try anything - well just about!!

Tony
