Guest guest Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 I'm sure the Doc will go over all that, hope you take a list with you. The legs and to a lesser extent the lower arms are the areas most likely to be initially affected. Let us know how it goes. Hugs, Kathy new problems for me Okay I got my test results from the doppler tests on my legs. I have minimal stenotic disease. Question for you medical minds now - if its showing up in my legs does this mean its doing this in my whole body?? Dr. Garrett talked to my primary (Dr. Ring) yesterday and he wants to see me stat. Dr. is still concerned because my legs start hurting so bad after I walk short distances. So off to Dr. Ring this afternoon. I also need to talk to Dr. Ring about my allergies, I haven't had this much trouble in years, which in turn is really popping my asthma up. This strong south wind isn't helping me either. lol Please visit our website at:http://ACES_Autoimmune.tripod.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 27, 2004 Report Share Posted March 27, 2004 I looked at one site that had Merrell shoes & they had no wide width. Was it just that site, or does Merrell not make wide shoes? > My first pair I got at the Red Wing outlet in Minnesota, the others at Cabelas in Hamburg, PA. > Here's their website. > http://www.merrell.com/our_shoes.asp > They don't seem to have the entire selection on there because I didn't see any of the ones I have, including those I just got, but they do have a dealer locator, so maybe there's a place near you where you could see them. They didn't even have any clogs showing on the site and they have a gazillion different versions of those. > Kathy > RE: new problems for me > > > wear alot of Merrell shoes > > Never hear of them.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2004 Report Share Posted March 27, 2004 , Ours are (90 days by mail) $10, $40, & $80. Sometimes one order is over $200. It stretches the budget. What would it be without insurance? I shudder to think. I can't possibly stop working as long as I can crawl to the office - we'd have to stop meds if I did. > Do you qualify for any of the reduced cost programs? > > No way, makes way to much $$$$ for that.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2004 Report Share Posted April 17, 2004 LOL--well, my feet haven't spread, but I don't know about the " not even " part. After all I'm about 40 pounds heavier than when I graduated. Kathy > Wow, Kathy, you defied all probabilities...not even your feet spread in mid-life. I also used to have VERY narrow feet but in recent years, my feet have spread (I was a 4A when I came out of high schoool) so that some medium widths are comfortable...all depends on brand. I think also that living in a warm climate for the last 18 years has made a difference...wearing all those casual shoes makes a difference. I'm now a 10 -10 1/2 Medium. > Jane > RE: new problems for me > > > Me, too. Long skinny things with extra long toes and high arches , LOL. > My family calls me monkey toes > > lol Thats what I call my kids, especially a. Her toes are all the same length and way longer than her big toe. lol My feet are wide at the front and really narrow at the heels, with the high arches. Remember those old black/white track shoes - they fit me perfectly. lol > > > > > Please visit our website at: > http://ACES_Autoimmune.tripod.com > > > > Please visit our website at: > http://ACES_Autoimmune.tripod.com > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 17, 2004 Report Share Posted April 17, 2004 My one pair of Merrell's are sandals, and they are the kind I can wear in the water, etc. I think they have some that resemble birkenstocks. The other Merrells I have are clogs and extremely comfortable. They don't have any really dressy types, though. Kathy > Kathy, do the Merrell sandals have sort of the same look as the Burk(can't even thing of the name) but you know what I mean. I'm like , I have so much numbness in my toes and feet and I have so few shoes that I can even wear now. I have to have surgery done this summer and see ifr I can get some of the hammer toes straigtened out and take care of the bunion. I've probably already left it to the point that they'll have to put in screws and a plate to straighten the bones. > Jane > RE: new problems for me > > > wear alot of Merrell shoes > > Never hear of them.
