Hi JS, nice to hear from you but sorry to hear about your flare. Linda, my wife, has had a terrible one for about 3-4 days now, her feet are just burning SO BADLY. Very little to be done except use M.Marijuana occasionally.

It was kind of you to clarify your earlier take on the Glaucoma issue w.r.t. Cymbalta, for others benefit, such as Jen & Helen. One really must be very careful about taking anything, even if prescribed by a doctor. They are clearly not infallible.

Hope things are OK in Ontario with both yourself as well as your husband. How is his heart surgery recovery going? Is he able to be up and about now?

Best, Hank

@jesfactsmon send Linda my best. Sorry to hear about her pain level

Hi Hank @jesfactsmon I am so sorry to hear Linda has a terrible bout with neuropathy in her feet. I know many Mayo Clinic members have reported that after receiving the covid vaccine their neuropathy symptoms worsened. I hope this is a temporary situation. Tell her to hang in there. I have heard many say the side effects were worse with the second dose. I am assuming she got the Pfizer vaccine. Did you get the vaccine as well? Are you experiencing any negative reactions?
I have heard by definition it should not be called a vaccine because a vaccine prevents an outbreak of an illness instead of decreasing the effects of the illness. I also had heard the medication should be labeled as “gene therapy”. It is hard to say what is best to do since there is not much known with the effects of the virus or the medications. Best wishes to you both. Toni

@hank Does it ever end? Just left message at dentist to find out what meds they use in freezing and want to double check them with internal tremors(even neuropathy I suppose).. its things like dental freezing, ointments, eye drops, etc. that I/we tend to forget as being oral meds eh? I too sorry to hear your partner has had bad days.... friend of daughters actually goes out in snow in bare feet (not when really freezing) to cool off her feet. Thanks for asking about husband: Had nurse in daily for 2.5 months and now every 3 days to change bandage on scar on let, only one "hole" left in scar... unbelievable. He hasnt gained weight but sleeping a bit better now blood out of lung but has a bit of fluid in there still...his G.P. not too worried. Sadly his cigarette smoking is increasing a little from the a day but honestly with lock down from Covid and my being ill too, gotta do something ! Addictions are hard to break. He has cut down a lot tho. He is driving but just to and from grocery store and to my medical appointments....boosted his confidence. Am feeling the pain of those living in Texas... we have a lot of it on our news... our fear in Winter too , losing hydro. OUr furnaces are mostly natural gas but have to be started by hydro! Lots of people used to have wood burning fireplaces in their homes but got rid of them over the years, but sure handy in a storm, but have to have kindling and wood! Sad times. J.

Hi guys , I have just had a quick read of bogth of your posts. If there is a problem with eyes, then the only person you should be consulting is a Neuro Ophthalmologist. They are scarce here in Australia, but having waited for six months it is fiŕst week of next month. A normal Ophthalmologist is not good enough. But good luck and best wishes.
