Re: Neuropathy

I'm still learning to deal with this neuropathy. I'm currently taking Vitamin B6 plus Gabapentin 300mg 3x per day. Earlier this week, I tried to put on a pair of my grown & sexy boots - wow that was a mistake. I think I'm going to have to buy a pair of naturalizer clogs or something equally disgusting. LOL First, you take away my vodka martinis, Second, you limit my chocolate intake & Now, you prevent me from enjoying my boots. Damn you to HELL cancer - go away from us all & don't come back.

Red face Re: Neuropathy

Leslie, I hear you. I live in my Clarks. It's hard to dress up and not be able to wear pretty shoes. I have a pair of the Ugh boots and living here in PA they work. We are getting more snow tonight. I think that we just have to appreciate the fact that we are here and complaining about not being able to wear pretty shoes and boots. Best wishes!!!! Mary L
