I typically have burning as my main symptom in my feet. Most of the time my burning is controlled with supplements. But occasionally it will flare up with low barometric pressures, or eating something with MSG in it.
I have found for me that certain foods make it worse. Also additives like MSG will do it. Since you live in Hong Kong, I'd suspect MSG in all that soy sauce! The nightshade veggies also do it to me. Potatoes, tomatoes, peppers. This food family has an alkaloid in it called solanine, which is the culprit. Some people are just very sensitive to solanine. You can Google that and read the allergy sites.

that is very interesting. until about 2 weeks ago i was eating a lot of potatoes. i haven't had any since then, and i have reduced the amount of tomatoes i was eating. i have had considerably less burning since doing so. i thought it was due entirely to the cold weather, but now suspect it may be the diet as well.

I recently went shopping for new slippers (not because of PN - just because I needed them) and got some different types: One type I can wear in public when I can't stand to wear regular shoes, and the other type - real cheapies I found at TSWLTH* for $6 a pr. Very warm, very comfortable, and soft foam soles that feel weird (but good) to walk on. I wound up going back for a couple more prs of the latter... Doc *The Store We Love To Hate (starts with "W")

LOL... I've had good experience at both Target and WalMart too.
I still have a pair of slide sandals called MOSS that I bought at Target years ago and they have hardly worn down at all! I think I paid less than $10 for them! Sometimes those stores have better stuff than Famous Footwear!

Speaking of quality, after inspecting those P.W. Minor medical shoes in person, I decided to pass on them; quality seemed far less than I expected. Guess I'll stick to my current pair of Skechers, which I've had for several years and are wearing like iron (YMMV). Doc

I don't have the burn, or cold, that some of you seem to be suffering from, but, when the weather gets cold, my feet seem to freeze up. I was wondering if it was from a lack of circulation. I don't experience the burning sensation talked about here, but the cold, now that's another thing.
Anything that anyone knows would be appreciated. I have an appointment with my neurologist in a couple of weeks, and was planning on asking him about the problem. I know of at least one man who has had a foot amputated from neuropathy, and I don't want to let this condition worsen to that point. |
