Cant wear socks
 

Hi / I am from New Zealand/ and we have a critter called the opposum, It's a pest to our trees but to make a pair of socks out of the hair , they are so good
The fibre is hollow which makes the wearing of socks so good.Perhaps you should shift to NZ to get these socks Cheers

Oh Matia--sorry, but I could never, ever wear a pair of socks make from opossum:eek:--that is such a disgusting thought to me. They are like seeing a huge rat:eek: to me and just the thought of that being on my feet--OMG:eek:thanks, but no thanks. Its great that you find comfort in them though!:hug:

I do have sensitivity to bed sheets and have to sleep without any cover. I have been on a strict gluten free diet for several years, but unfortunately, going on the diet did not help my PN. Actually, nothing has helped, not exercise, not supplements, not medications, not diet. It's so depressing to have a condition that is incurable and untreatable.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have not tried diabetic socks. I'll check the ones out at WalMart.

Thanks for your reply. I have been on a strict GF diet for 5 years but no relief, unfortunately. I recently retired, but when I worked, I also had to take my shoes off under the desk. I was fortunate to have a desk job.

Hi. I'm not gluten intolerant but my pn is my inner ankle/foot. For the first 4 months I always worse socks but then one day I took them off and didn't wear them for two months. After when the weather cooled I put them on and it sent me into a lot of pain. I had to retrain my body to feel less sensitive to them. For the first few days was so hard and I often wore them half way on. Now I can wear them all day. I read an article about desensitizing the nerve. I realize how when I get away from even "normal" things it takes my body time to adjust. You may want to try different types of socks like the others said. Even different materials. Good luck!

Daniella,
This is very interesting. Do you have a link to the article about desensitizing the nerves?

Matia,
Thanks so much for the suggestion. I thought you were kidding, but found this New Zealand web site that sells two kinds of possum socks: http://www.thewoolcompany.com/produc...sum+%2F+Merino

Thank you, Mrsd, for complimenting my avatar. Alas, they are only my dream feet. My real feet are fatter and have age spots on them... But I would like everyone here to think that I am young, slim, and beautiful. Ha.
