My neurologist decided to prescribe a more powerful tool to manage the pain in my feet. So, he gave me a foot cream. What wasn't obvious was the non-prescribed 'side effects' of the foot cream which included ... (sigh) ...

I've stopped with the foot-crack and am back to dealing with the pain. Hopefully I'll be back to writing soon too.
