Flipping blisters are driving me mad, nurse has dressed my toes, given me more antibiotics and said no running and come back next week
I’m so cross that i can’t run and reading everyone’s successes makes me happy knowing it won’t be long before we are back out there enjoying our runs
I'm "liking" this even though I dislike it! Your poor feet Sola ☹️
I’ve been a bit ticked off to be honest and thanks for liking my post
It’s good to see you still here
Bit of a difficult one for you though isn't it. There's all the benefits of running versus your poor feet. Have they said the antibiotics and bandaging will sort it all out? I know the psoriasis won't just "go away" but is there a way to make it so you can still run??
Yeah I'm still here, battling the demons a bit and not being able to run isn't helping! Nothing wrong with me, just can't fit them in ☹️
Time is always difficult i tend to think if i only run 15 minutes a bit faster i will be home within half an hour,
It’s the psoriasis drugs that are thinning my skin making me really prone to blisters but dressed with bandages I can still go to work so i might fit in a little joggle tomorrow as it’s my day off or i might just wait til they heal,
I have blister socks and well fitting trainers so am hopeful they will be fine soon
Lesson learned is that at the first hint of a blister i will cover with a blister plaster instead of hoping for the best
Good luck fitting in some running time
Wait until they heal Sola!!
Probably will do as Willow won’t let me run until they are gone
Good good... 😉
So sorry to hear this, hope it’s just annoying not painful too I’ll have a run for you tomorrow
Thank you i will think of you running, yeah it’s painful
😒
It's a shame your feet aren't behaving themselves. Are they worse since you started running or just the same. Hope they heal soon 😊
Worse since i got psoriasis and the drugs to deal with that, nothing really to do with the running,
Oh your poor feet 🙁
Definitely give them a break like the nurse said.
Yes I will do
What socks do you wear?
Yuedge anti blister socks they are lovely and comfy I haven’t had them long so haven’t run in them much but wear them to work and my feet thank me
Hilly socks are great for me, they are snug and form fitting so no friction. I was a bit surprised at the price, but think that they are worth it.
When your feet have healed it may be worth trying.
Thanks i will look out for some
If it’s your toes that have issues, you could try injinji toe socks 👍🏽
Never thought of that but it’s all over this is the first time they’ve affected my toes
Oh that’s a frustration I am sure!! Lots of bio yoghurt with those antibiotics!!
Keep up the fluids too. Big hug & hoping to have you back on track soon!! 🌹🌷💐
Thanks Annie, it could be worse at least it’s only one foot this time
Hope those blisters heal quickly for you - take the nurse's advice and postpone running until they do - you con't want to risk any infection setting in ! Thankfully I can still get out running but in a similar situation where I can't go swimming (until recently 3 times a week) due to irritant dermatitis - frustrating to say the least !! Take care.
Very frustrating, it might have been swimming that set this lot off
I am taking the nurses advice and taking the antibiotics and trying to be positive that I should be able to run next week
You do wonder what triggers these skin conditions - though mine seemed to appear at the same time as half the pool went up my nose and then was subsequently diagnosed for the first time in my life with hay fever !!.
Not long now until you get back out running. Have a good weekend.
Thank you, you too, yes it does make you wonder
good luck - they will heal
is there any cream or anything you can use as a prevention rather than waiting until they pop up?
I have creams lotions and potions I’ve never had anything like this before and it’s very frustrating, the drugs to control the blisters thin the skin which can cause more blisters, my hands are a mess at the moment too so it’s a general drug peeling time it happens every few weeks. The dermatologist seemed to think it would be a good idea last week to stop the steroid cream which also thins the skin so it’s flared and peeled a bit more but i’m confident with care i will get a few weeks running once they heal before the next lot, in the meantime I went over to the strength and flex site for some things to make us stronger ready for our next run
It will heal they have before so focus on what you will be able to do when that happens. UV is said to be good for this type of psoriasis so you could treat yourself to a sunny holiday somewhere flat where you can run for miles....🌅🌅🌅😂forget Devon where it's currently peeing down.
Thanks we went to Menorca in early September and ran 3 times it was wonderful, I think possibly had too much sun as never been so tanned and that may have started the flare up then it all healed for a while now it’s back
Probably a silly question but have you tried Compeed plasters? They are brilliant for treating and preventing blisters, that's of course if you tend to get them in the same place.
Two have competed plasters on but the ones on my toes are dressed by the nurse as they just got bigger and bigger, I only went to see the nurse for ear ache too and mentioned my toes
Oh my goodness, Compeed plasters are brilliant with me but sounds like your toes do need some serious care and attention. Maybe go and see a shoe specialist for looking at specific trainers.
Been there done that have the shoes and insoles it’s the tablets that thin the skin so much i get a lot of blisters
That's not good especially when you want to keep fit.
Try using two pairs of thin socks, the socks rub against each other rather than against the skin of your toes. Good luck and keep persevering.
I’ve tried that and it helps, this is a skin thing rather than a running thing so it’s about keeping them mostly free of blisters so i can run, healing nicely now so hoping to have a short run on Monday
