Aren't they fantastic? I stumbled upon them while doing research into complimentary treatments for Lyme disease. I was on high dose minocycline and just miserable. Brain fog, flu like symptoms, serious neuritis in my back and ribs and then the foot pain hit. I would get myself a big glass of lemon water to help break down the toxins in my body, run the tub full of hot water, throw in the epsom salts and soak for a whole evening. It was the only thing that would give me relief.

Recently, going through some of our office stuff we found the huge spiral notebook that I had used during the worse of the the brain fog. I was office manager/office nurse for my husband's practice and had to find a way to remember stuff he told me, stuff patients told me, telephone calls, you name it. He set thumbing through the thick notebook and was amazed. All I had to do was write the date at the top of the page and then I would write cue words to stimulate my memory later. It lasted almost a year before I could stop using the notebook but it was pretty cool to see how I'd coped with Lyme disease without missing a day of work.

We only have a shower now but every now and then I threaten to drag a stock tank up onto our back deck, fill it with hot water and epsom salt and soak the back and neck pain away.

Dish pan, stock pot, mixing bowl. Whatever will hold enough water for you to get your foot covered and soak one at a time if you have to.

Try hot packs. Soak a small towel in hot water and epsom salt, put down another towel, wrap your foot and ankle with the wet towel and keep it there till the towel cools then repeat.

Make sure the towels aren't so hot that they burn your skin. You won't be a happy camper if you burn your feet.
