Hi everyone,
Hope you are all as well as you can be. I posted here last week about my feet and had some lovely and very useful replies.This is just an update. I saw my wonderful neuro yesterday and expained about the pain in my feet and joints ( as well as everywhere else!) I have to gradually increase my dose of pregabalin over the next couple of weeks, but if things don’t improve he has recommended trying Duloxetine which is a anti-depressant based drug which work by calming down the nerve pain. I take Cipralex anyway which is a mild anti depressant ( to stop me roaring at everyone!), but if I take the Duloxetine it will hopefully kill two birds etc. I’ve also been referred to a rheumatologist as I tested positive for lupus a couple of years ago, which can affect the joints badly, but there’s also something called Palindromic Rheumatism which a lot of MSers get apparently. I think he wants to see what comes up from my blood tests. If anyone has any experience of any of these horrid things and has any tips on how to cope, I’d love to hear from you.
As for the shoes, I am going to buy some ART shoes, once I’ve decided on a style, but yesterday bought a lovely pair of Hotter shoes, which are quite attractive and most of all like feathers on the feet!
keep well everyone
