Occasionally, one can learn (OK, ‘hear’ rather than actually ‘learn’!) something from even the most mindless source. That was what happened to me a couple of days ago. It was something about oxy-acetyline torches and it was quite interesting – to me, anyway. Sadly, I can’t remember exactly what it was but I do remember being amazed at the extremely high temperatures that can be reached.
“Hmm,” you say, “what on earth has that to do with Fibromyalgia?”. Allow me to enlighten you, although, may I say how surprised I am that you haven’t yet worked out the link? It seems pretty straightforward to me!
Allow me to give you a hint…
Have you worked it out, yet?
Do you give up?
OK, I’ll tell you.
For the past few days, my feet have been feeling as though the skin is being burnt to a frazzle by an oxy-acetyline torch, causing it to peel off in huge pieces. The pain in my feet has been very much more severe than previously. It would be easy to say that it was unbearable but, of course, I have borne it. It has certainly been unpleasant. Actually, it wouldn’t be an overstatement to say it has been downright nasty.
It was a shock to me that the pain in my feet was so bad, and so different from what I had experienced previously. I don’t know why I was so surprised but I suppose it was because I had become used to how it felt when I was suffering Fibro Feet and it hadn’t occurred to me that those sensations might change! Pretty dumb, huh?
Hmph! Shame it wasn’t ‘numb’ rather than ‘dumb’, then they wouldn’t have felt so darned sore!
