Hi guys.

I have some different symptoms, thought I would share and see if anyone has opinions, if this means anything, or means its getting worse.

Usually my toes would burn, only my toes.

Now, its weird. The very tips of my four little toes will be cold, but only the tips, and the rest of the toe is hot and on fire, along with my big toe and pads of my feet.

It's very odd. Even my husband could touch them and feel the tips cold while everything else is on fire.

I have a horrid feeling this means things are getting worse.

Flares are still only at night but tonights really bad. Nothing helping, epsom bath, icy hot, supplements.

Any opinions are welcome, even if it's bad news for me.

have you been ruled out for MS stacy?

What supplement/treatment protocol are you on?

I would try the magnesium lotion, now available at WalMart for $5.98! Morton's brand Epsom lotion. The price of it is 1/2 of the CVS that was discontinued, and it is working well for me.

If you are having some vasoconstrictive issue, affecting only some of your feet, a topical will penetrate better than oral. I think the lotion is better than the soaking in epsom salts. This lotion seems to drive the magnesium into the tissues better and faster, and has a longer duration of action. 8oz for $5.98 is not much of a burden financially also.

My WalMart had this lotion already, in the first aid section.

I apply it only to the top of the feet and my arches and up the ankle a bit. Mostly my left foot seems to need it more.

I got some of the new Epson Lotion by Morton Salt at Walmart too. I think it absorbs quicker than the CVS version. I've only used it twice at night on my feet, so it's too soon for me to judge, but I did sleep through the night after applying it.

I think it is better too, Joano.

It might be that the CVS had thickened up on the shelf?
The Morton seems to work much faster. I've put it on my left surgical foot, and the pain stops within minutes now.

The ingredients are similar, but there is no capsaicin in it, like the CVS one had. And it is 1/2 the price! Can't beat that! Lots of relief for pennies a day!

I'm glad you like it too!

Yes, it's not as thick as the CVS lotion--that's probably why it absorbs so much quicker. It does take the burning away quickly. I hope I can continue to sleep through the night.

I bought a bottle of this from Puritian Pride hoping it might be better than pills.The cost is $21.00 for 8 oz. What is your opinion.

Don't know if it would help, but I use lidoderm patches and cut them up for my toes. Only issue is that they hurt when pulled off the skin. Numbs burning, even those tingles from PN. I wish you all the best. ginnie

I just got home from Walmart with my new bottle of mortons epsom lotion. I could only dream of it while standing in the check out line, as my feet were burning so bad.

I just applied it, and it seems as if it stopped the burning, yet I also have a ceiling fan on and so air blown on them while wet from the lotion could be helping more than the lotion, lol.

I cant wait to try it the next time, probably tonight, since I am having flare ups more and more

Thanks everyone for you opinions and suggestions of the lotion. Was so excited to try it. I LOVE the idea of using it instead of having to take a bath.
