Oh, My Aching Feet---Are Gone

[1desperateladysaved]

When I read Reader's Digest's article, "I am Joe's Foot."  II was a youth.  I am guessing it was in the 70's, but if someone knows when let me know.  I remember trying some of their suggestions for dealing with aching feet and caring because my feet often ached.

 

As I sat holding my daughter's foot tonight, and considered how incredibly  it was made, I suddenly realized my feet don't ache anymore.  My feet often ached over the years.  As a child, there was an empty chair at the table and yours truly would put her feet up on them.  Nobody else could put their feet on the chair but me!  I never could understand that one, but I appreciated it.  A couple of years back a person at the shoe store told me that my feet swell and recede.  She could tell by looking at the wear in my shoes.  I remember the ache being particularly bad in the summer time. 

 

But hey It's summer and my feet don't ache this year!  When I went gluten free about 18 months back, my feet first ached really bad and I had plantar fashieitis  pain in both of them.  Then all went quiet in my feet.  What feet? I asked the nurse  recently when she asked how they were.

My feet used to swell terribly. Even though I keep my sneakers so loose I can barely tie them because the laces are too short from keeping them loose, by the end of the day they were tight and I couldn't wait to get them off. That improved a lot, but lately it has come back. That is why I am giving up dairy for a while. I KNOW I am not getting glutened or corned or soyed, so what else could it be?

My dreadful plantar fasciitis vanished within weeks of going gluten-free, and reappears if I get glutened. Isn't it great when you don't notice things are better, then suddenly realize? I noticed last week that my jaw doesn't click anymore. Great!!!
