This is why my storage room is full AND a mess. <BR/><BR/>As always, beautiful picture!Amy Hanekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17948641570199768387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32199165.post-61339241975528760202008-05-29T09:21:00.000-04:002008-05-29T09:21:00.000-04:00Redhen - I didn't know about the thyroid/feet conn...Redhen - I didn't know about the thyroid/feet connection. Thanks for that. I must look into it. Also, RH, I tried that thing in the catalog and it didn't help much, I fear. It's not much better than a wrap bandage.<BR/><BR/>Colleen - you will eventually love your ipod!<BR/><BR/>Amy - the acupuncture does help and I recommend it. However, it is not a total cure (at least for me). Other things that help include using a Step Stretcher (see footsmart.com), a splint, a cortisone shot, and staying off your feet. The latter helps the most but unfortunately is the most difficult to do. Also, good insoles in shoes are a must. I buy mine at Healthy Feet in Salem or at my podiatrist's office. Expensive but worth it.CountryDewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03243893531509380824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32199165.post-8804678705561397212008-05-29T09:05:00.000-04:002008-05-29T09:05:00.000-04:00My hubby has plantar fasciitis too.

Do you know that people who have low thyroid function or autoimmune thyroid disease often suffer from this? <BR/><BR/>I saw a neat gadget in the Hammacher Schlemmer catalog to put on your leg and foot which is supposed to help.<BR/><BR/>Me, I'm keeping my replacement levels up in hopes of never having this again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
