Hi
I live in the RIVERLAND, South Australia , and am happy to chat and compare ideas and help each other with treatment ideas and anything else that might help. I have become involved in REIKI and have found this to be most helpful, as it gave me back control and I have had a quality of life return since becoming involved in this field. I still have to take certain medications but the amount of, and intensity of have been reduced. This is very helpful as I know you would appreciate, as all meds have interactive side-effects , that can be sometimes worse than the problem itself. If I can be of any help don't hesitate to ask me.

Hi Ali's I suffered from plantar fasciitis for months almost off my feet the pain was so bad. Eventually I got a pair of special orthotic insoles made to measure at the hospital. They supported the arch in my foot and it slowly improved. I still have them and if I feel a twinge I wear them for a week or so. I don't want to wear them all the time in case they fall to bits. I have many autoimmune problems and, live in pain everyday. I do try not to let it stop me living my life. I would love to be in contact but I live in Scotland, a bit far. Take care and let us know how you are getting on.

I would be happy to communicate with you, @A MyChronicPainTeam Member. But I live in Ridgedale, Missouri, in the USA. A long way from you. And I don't suffer nearly as much as your apparently do, but suffering is suffering, isn't it. I have no idea what Plantar Fasceaitis is, but it sounds bad to me. I simply have Degenerative Disc Disease. Other than having had a heart attack in 2012, I have no problems except some minor arthritis. which is a result or, or contributor to the DDD. So I am here, ready to encourage, commiserate, and generally help you in any way I can.
