...also, heat wraps! The only way my legs survive. I heat in intervals throughout the day so I can walk around my house in spurts. My pain and burning is throughout my body so I use multiple heat packs on legs, ankles, tops of feet, back, shoulder, neck. Im not diabetic and my feet have moved out of the burning phase since last year when ice was my go to with no socks and Epsom soaks. These crazy phases and stages. Last year I could not type this message due to debilitated hands. Now, they feel tight at most and I need to rest them. Prior, however, hands were submerged in cold water soaks, ice packs. Zaps, tingles and vibrations have dissipated, I believe, from Lyrica and possibly Acetyl L Carnatine and R Alpha Lipoic Acid supplements.

@rwinney Rachel, Your illnesses really have a mind of their own. What you do, just to survive them, is amazing. What we all do to survive them, is amazing! I mean, it can take me a solid 10 minutes or more, to find a pair of shoes that do not hurt. And the next time I want to wear them, they kill me. Or, would my flip flops be better in the shower, or putting a wash cloth on the shower floor be better? Would Frankincense be better for the burning, or my CBD salve? The foot massager, or the hot water foot spa? This is all to just get by without throbbing, gnarly, pain. And it goes on all day like this! I carry various pairs of shoes in my car. Sometimes I can drive, and sometimes the pedal exacerbates so much pain, that I go back in my house. OY!!!!! All too much. I have to find a really good book to read. Sometimes reading is a great distraction, and fools my brain that I am ok for awhile. Sometimes reading is damn impossible. What can we all do? We are alive!!!!! Lori
