Ooh, ooh, fire!

My feet are on fire again. Grrrr.

I had a massage today. Now, I am a great fan of massage and it was wonderful. I can't find any evidence that massage is bad for neuropathy. The pain started before I went for my massage. I blame it on my shoes. I bought some Dansko shoes with my Christmas money, but unlike my other three pairs, this pair seems to aggravate the problem.

After my massage I ate at Silke's, which was probably not better for me because I had potato soup. Then I went to the Y & did 30 minutes on the bike because there was no way I was doing the elliptical. Heck, it was hard enough to keep myself on the bike, but I did it. After that, I actually cooked dinner, washed dishes & did some laundry. I've been doing some research on neuropathy and other things. I still have more research to do, but...let me recommend the massage spa for those of you in the Clarksville area. Bella Medical Spa offers more than massage - they do laser treatments, permanent eye makeup, and other services. It was a Christmas present for me, but the massage prices are listed on the site and are reasonable.

reminder...

Reminder...most cold medicine will raise your blood pressure, so if you have hypertension, please be careful! I saw a commercial for Coricidin HBP yesterday, but as I am slogging through a cold right now, I definitely have it on my mind. It is not so bad that I feel I NEED to take something, but I am sucking on Hall's Cough Drops like they are going out of style. My blood sugars have been high too (wonder why). I thought I'd picked up the sugar free kind. Actually, glucose syrup isn't the first ingredient listed. It's fourth. WASH YOUR HANDS! It's the number one way to prevent the spread of disease, according to the CDC. Stay healthy, my friends.
