@lauraj155 @retiredteacher Hi Ladies, First; Laura, I can't believe how fast you received the Spencos! Sorry they did not work! My problem with buying a custom orthotic, is that one day a shoe that feels good, may not feel as good the next day. The following day, the same shoe, may feel excellent. This is due to really wacky nerves. My nerves in my feet are so very screwed up that there is no telling what will happen. But Laura; I hope each hour in the orthotic gets better and better. Is there a better and better with neuropathy? Let's all get severely drunk and call the whole thing off?????? Now Carol; first thing I need to do with you is apologize. I felt really bad leaving you a message to watch your carbs and sugar as if you do not know that. I am sorry. I have this mothering quality in me that wants to take care of everyone, and I am sure you know to watch your sugar. Now that I said that, I hope that the Spencos work better for you. Today they felt good for me. Last nite, they felt kind of gritty. I could just die with this neuropathy, which leads me to my next post on the neuropathy site.....let's all find a way to cope???????? I think about handsome movie stars sometimes....that doesn't last too long, though...….like I love Tim Roth, an English Actor, who isn't really handsome, but he's got somethin'...….ya know??????

@lorirenee1 No apology necessary. I know about Diabetes from my experience, but neuropathy is new to me. I'm researching and learning, though. I agree. We should find a way to cope. It's bad enough to have to give up yummy foods for bland dishes, but to have this foot problem just adds insult to injury. I remind myself that there are others in Connect that have more problems than I do. and I hope and pray that they will feel better.
My husband has been sick with a "no name" illness. It's been going on most all of March and continues into April. We've made an ambulance trip to the ER and spent seven hours as they ran tests. They eliminated problems: anything with heart is okay; no pneumonia; no flu, but lung/bronchitis/deep cough problems. He's been on antibiotics, steroids and other meds for 20 days. The doctors say this crud lasts 5 to 6 weeks! So the stress has taken its toll on me.
I know eventually this will pass, but right now it is difficult.
Good to hear from you. Sorry Laura's shoes didn't work. I hope mine do. Just have to wait and see.
Carol
