MDJunction to me

"MDJ is an integral part of my everyday life. Since joining in 2010, I have met so many amazing people. It is truly incredible to be able to share good times and not so good times with others who face the same health challenges. And MDJ has support groups for every condition I have. I don't know of anywhere else that can offer that. I love that I can learn from others as well as offer my own experiences for others to learn from." (jaguarandcubs)

Shoes??? (page 3)

My feet feel best in oversized deep cushioned house slippers. I always wear them to car, slip them off and put on whatever kind I will be wearing in in public place. Usually New Balance tennies, Eastland loafers, flat mules (I love), or slip on sandels.

All feel fine for awhile.

Then when we are back in car, off the shoes come, Vick's Salve rubbed on feet and house slippers slipped on.

Sweet relief....

I've been putting off bunion surgery on both feet for awhile now. They give me grief in most shoes but when the RA is flaring in the feet it sets off the bunions as well and they hurt more then they ever do without the RA flare.

Bits, I do the same thing. Slippers in my truck always. I've even started grocery shopping in the kinds with the harder outdoor soles on them. I got a pair of Isotoner slippers for Xmas and they are so comfortable I kept forgetting to put actual shoes on when leaving the house so now I just shop in them.
