My feet swell in summer, but they don't burn so I guess it's a different thing.
I am Tam. Tam I am. I like green eggs, but I don't like ham. :D

I tried linking one of my adopted click pets here, but the board wouldn't let me. :/

Tired of waking up in pain but if I can make it to December some how I might finally get some good life changing news.

And does anyone here have foot neuropathy? Trying to figure out what’s wrong with my feet swelling and feeling like they’re burning most of the time.


Our dad is just developing diabetic peripheral neuropathy and there is no cure but just management. Do you have diabetes or are pre-diabetic? It could be a sign you should check out with your doctor.
We are using a homeopathic cream and it seems to help a LITTLE but it's so bad, he's in constant pain and burning.

I've read that some anti-depressants could help because the foot neuropathy is sometimes a symptom of depression.
We've also tried lidocaine patches, again, help just a little but not much. :(

I have iron deficiency and depression, also pretty sure I’m allergic to the southwest.
Am looking for a reporter or podcast or someone of the like to tell all the details too.
If someone has severed ties with blood relations and family never question why. Took all of my reserve to make it thru these last couple of days

Well for your feet, try the easy-to-fix problem first while you get to a doctor.

Vitamin deficiency (vitamin B12, folate, and occasionally vitamin B6)

Every other cause is very serious and you should be seeing a doctor for it.

If its neuropathy then, yes, you will have to see a doctor to get medication. My mom had it for a while and I believe she was given gabapentin which helped her tremendously.

To update on the homeless situation we’re down to two people with income and a tiny dog. She who refused to get income and was a big cause of a lot of our problems in many ways is staying behind with a lot of other toxicity in humid bug town.
Two bedrooms should be much easier to come by and we can totally get something in the mountains proper. If we’re going to be in hotel rooms or Walmart parking lots we can be organizing and sorting our storage units. My doctor is here too so I can get all that started.

Not being all day on the road and having more regular access to liquids, comfort stops, and more normal for me walking around has done wonders for the swelling. The burning and swelling in specific places for nerve conditions hasn’t and I’ll look to fit a visit to urgent care in with all our other things. Honestly showings and other things involved with finding a place to live have to come first.
And if anyone knows someone in So Cal that might need things or is way into horses pm me. Some things we’ll be donating and some we need to try and offset the mooch’s bills. She left us a lot of clothes, accessories, and other horse centric stuff.

In unit numbers 1 to 77 which one are we looking at tomorrow? They didn’t tell us.
And it’s the same color scheme but only half as wide as where we just where and down the street from where we lived in the 90s in the town I went to college in.
*And to add to the irony this place was listen on a voucher site, many 55+/seniors and disabled only places also continue to take them, and the guy we talked to said the two of us sound credit score/eviction/felony/and possibly even child and large pet free perfect. There are other ‘manufactured homes’ listed at the park so this has got to happen.
Also got an update on our kitties, Marshmallow the meezer is somewhat feral but getting fed still, Nelly the calico has adopted some younger kitties like a mommy. Both are fixed. Big probability no cats wherever we end up.

My former in-laws' double wide seemed as bit as a standard house, so I hope you get something that fits your needs. And I'm sorry things look like you won't be able to keep your cats.....
