Dear Pat,
There is a medication that increases the blood circulation to the feet and
other extremeities. It is a medication used for Lupus. I will try to find
out, my nurse had to take it, although it did make her very tired. Sometimes
the symptoms are worse than the cure of the symptom. I have used a pair of
sheep skin ski boots that have simulation insoles in them this has helped me.
They are actually the shoe's/ boots I wore when I first started to walk,
because they were warm and gave ankle support (boot) and they also had a wide
sole thus giving me a wider platform on which to walk. We call them my 'magic
boots' ,
they also allowed the level of pain to subside because they did not put
pressure on the pain points.
Kindest regards,
Beth
