Paolo: Thank You for offering to share your insights!! I had

REALLY wanted to attend the chat but the time conflicted with my work

schedule. Unfortunately, due to the time difference, almost any time

that would have been good for me would likely have been bad for you

(probably the middle of the night).

I'm not sure if you covered this in your chat, but what I wanted

to know was how to get footdrop boots? I understand how they work

but was wondering if a orthotist or brace specialist would need to

make them or how one could purchase the necessary materials??

Another comment: Have you heard of Healing Touch or energy based

therapies?? It all seemed kind of hokey (fake) to me until a nurse

gave a presentation about it during a pain management seminar at my

work (I work at a VA hospital). She mentioned some thought that it

could help reenervate nerves... That got me curious so I tried it

out. I've had three sessions thus far and although I will be the

first to confess I was skepticaol, I KNOW it has helped A LOT

already!! I had electrical feelings in parts of my legs I had not

felt in years and my toes move more freely now. My hand has also

improved some. I think like Physiatry, Healing Touch rehabilitation

will not benefit drug companies or labs but I really do believe that

it is helpful. Just how helpful I will see with time.. If anyone is

curious about what this is check out healingtouch.net.

Peace, Marti
