Hi Pinkblossom

I'm glad you got through your first day ok. It sounds like you have a really good friend there and good on her for sticking up for you. I hope it's not been too hard for you, cleaning 9 toilets - and with fibro as well. Take it easy this evening and relax

Well done you

Thanks irisjoy,it's nice she defended me in my absence,this other girl who said i was making my illness up happens to be 'my friend' or so I thought,any way she apologised for saying I was 'making up my illness' I realy just don't need shite from ignorant people,iv only had fibro for a year and its unbelievable how people treat other people with their disabilities,it's even worse when it can't be seen.

Glad to hear that you managed to get through the day even if it has left you exhausted. At least now you know that you can do it and you also have the support of a good friend too. Sleep well tonight and I hope you enjoy your meeting tomorrow. Jane x

Well done you! I have plantar fasciitis too, making my job as a dog walker so painful.. I now have inserts in all my shoes inc slippers and after a year my feet are much better. You can get them from Boots.

Or see an Orthotist, get a referral from your GP and have personal orthotics made for your shoes, boots, slippers etc. It can make a world of difference to you, it can also make walking pleasurable again. It can make that much of a difference all with a simple referral!

My mum had Plantar Fasciitis and used to hobble and some days have to stay in her flat because she couldn't go out. Now she is walking everywhere, doing keep fit etc., and she's 78 years old. There is help out there, we just sometimes have to ask for it.

Thanks everyone,going to see my doc again on Friday,will speak to him about what can be done about my feet,I get through loads of slippers because its not long before the support goes and my feet start hurting and then my feet slip around leading to me tripping up!when the doc said it pas PF he just gave me a leaflet,the exercise says about rolling your feet back and forth on a round object,have you ever tried doing that when you're feet are killing you!that old saying 'no pain no gain' is a load of rubbish,a bloke must have made that up (sorry chaps if your reading);)as the evening goes on my feet are getting worse,thank goodness I'm not working tomorrow,in on thurs,day off fri to go docs and in on sat xx
