The Heat is On

August 24th, 2009

Lately, my feet have been giving me a real fit. I’ve tried heat and it just doesn’t work to numb the pain. I have tried ice packs and well it numbs them for a while, but it chills me to the bone. Chilling to the bone makes me ache all over. I just cannot win. I wish there was a lotion or something else to put on them. They get so bad I cannot walk on them because they feel like hot pokers. Luckily, I have my wheelchair as I cannot take even a few steps without horrible pain in my feet and legs. I do use a wheelchair when I cannot walk, but the pain in my legs just makes things so unbearable. When they are flared up I keep them elevated. The problem is I have nerve damage in both legs and well when it rains leg pain it pours. I do take a medication called Lyrica and it does help, but it’s not a cure all. I hate how the lupus limits things in my life. I hate LUPUS with a passion.
