FEET PROBLEMS

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone, hope you are all doing well. I've had problems with my feet lately.

First, there is terrible itching on the entire foot, not so much on the bottom

or heel but the top and sides, usually doesn't include the toes, all the way up

to my ankle and a bit higher. Hydrocortisone cream 2.5% helps for 4-5 hours, but

it comes back. It's driving me nuts. I don't see any rash or anything else.

At the same time, I have had pain when walking on the bottom of the feet.

Whether this is related or not I don't know. It is from the heel to the toes,

most of it in between before the toes. It has happened here and there but now

seems to come alot, it's been 3 days now. It was happening when I walked around

a mall, ect, but the last 3 days I have not walked much at all, I work at home

sitting my desk.

My t-cells are around 440. Viral load undetectable. About two years ago before

Icentress, Intelence and Prezista came out, I had a t-cell count under 50 for 6

years. I became ill the year before these came out, mostly with digestion,

nothing would stay in and constant diarrhea. I mention this because when I got

on the listed pills (that really saved my life, I started them when 2 of them

were in trials) I went from a very bad weight (I am 5'6 " ) of 120 to 262 within

10 months, I couldn't stop eating. I have now gotten my weight down to 235. So

the bottom of the feet pain might just be all the extra weight, I don't know,

but then there is the constant itching.

Has anyone else had feet problems like this? There is no rash, no numbness.

Newest medications were about 6 months ago when I was diagnosed with type 2

diabetes so 1000mg Metformin twice a day and also Gemfibrosil was added to

reduce my 1500 triglyceride count at the same time. 3 months ago they increased

my Lasinopril from 10mg to 20mg for my high blood pressure and slightly high

kidney readings. No other new meds or changes.
