With #10 in the record books, I am dealing with another cold and crazy neuropathy. It feels as if someone is randomly grabbing my ankles, then letting go. A bit freaky when standing by the bed in an empty house. My feet are sluggish, which poses challenges on stairs at times. Floppy feet.
I'm not sure if the neuropathy is getting worse, or just reacting to the colder weather. It seems to only go away when my feet are uncomfortably hot...sweaty hot. I have started taking Neurontin to see if the symptoms will subside. Time will tell. I hate taking another med, but this is getting old.
My mouth doesn't seem to be as funky this time around. I am already able to eat without being slimed. This is a good thing, as I have a REALLY hard time drinking when the slimey thing is going on. Once it goes away, I find myself slamming water like crazy.
In the past week, a coworker has received some bad news. His 14 year old son has been diagnosed with a brain tumor. They are in the process of biopsy, will have results on Thursday. Following his story has dredged up memories of when my oldest stepson had his car accident. I feel for this family, as I know the fear they are dealing with. They, too, are in their "earmark". It makes one wonder why things happen like they do...why things happen to innocent children.
If we had an answer, would we accept it?
