Does anyone find that a type of shoe helps your foot neuropathy?

@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

@retiredteacher @lorirenee1 , Carol, I hope your husband is doing better. My husband is just getting over the flu after a week or so. Thankfully I didn’t get it and hopefully you didn’t either! The doctor’s told us the flu is late this year and it’s involving a lot of upper respiratory problems. Also, I don’t know how old any of your are but if you have diabetic neuropathy Medicare will pay 80% for a pair of shoes. I found a list of shoes for diabetes on Zappos that are Medicare approved. All of these shoes are so expensive but with the 80% off that could really help. I don’t have diabetes and not 65 quite yet but it still is good to see all the types of shoes. Lori, my son and I share amazon prime so I get two day shipping which is so helpful! Laura

Carol, I hope your husband is better soon! That is a long time to be sick! That respiratory illness can last a long time! It is very good his illness has not settled into pneumonia. Hopefully, the crud will be out of his system very soon. Meanwhile, plenty of hot tea, honey, and chicken soup. God willing, his illness is going in the right direction. Keep me informed, and get your Spencos soon! Take care, Lori
