Re: Christmas Party last night

[Guest guest]

Actually, I have those symptoms without drinking, Ed. I get out of breath walking upstairs or carrying a batch of mail at work. I don't get chest pain though. One morning last spring I woke up and couldn't put any weight on my right heel. I've had it off and on ever since. Also the top of my left foot, so they don't even match! I don't know what caused the foot pain, the fibro just seems to "spread". Any time I ask my doctor, he tells me "Oh, it's just the fibro". Yeah, right. I use a gel support for my heel and sometimes that helps. I had a drink about a year ago and it did make my heart pound as well. One thing I did try was marijuana. Once. It really is an excellent pain killer. I could dance, I felt so much better. Unfortunately, I got a severe panic attack with it (I think I smoked too much at once). It was so bad that I never tried it

again. There is a pill for marijuana now, and I have thought of asking for it from my doctor, but it affects your short term memory. Not sure how good that would be at work!!

Ed-It sounds like you have developed a heel spur. There are some exercises you can do to help that......I had a huge one-my podiatrist said it was the biggest he had seen. Anyway, they also have special stockings you can war on that foot to sleep in that keeps it pronated and helps stretch that tendon. Look up heel spur exercises on the web and also heel spur stocking that should get your info. If you can't find it let me know and I will look for it for you, Blessings,

Hmm, it could be - but it is more at the front than the heel (ie the

very back of the toe joints...) Can you get them there do you think?

Thanks for that info.

Fibro pain is unusual for me as I suffer more with CFS, bar my thumb

joint, and occassional arm pains, this is unusual. I am hoping it

will go away, but then again I have been hoping all my symptoms will

go away for the last few years!

Isn't it odd how stairs have such an effect, yet the medics say your

heart is fine. I cannot get my head round it.

I got a little pad to wear in the shoe but it isn't helping. Still

hobbling around! Not sure if it is Fibro related or just one of those

things, but that's the problem isn't it, we never know !
