Hi Lucy - you were in Paris 96/98...how did you like living in Paris. I was in St Cloud 79 - 81, having come from 7yrs in Bxls (loved Bxls.)
Yep, know what you mean about being approached with the 'huge' needle, I ducked out, 'No way' I told him. 'Stuff that for a game of soldiers!' got up and left. So, just got on with it. Interesting about the tiny injections around the heel - not what I've ever been offered... Which hosp was that in Paris?
High instep, has a name, think it is 'claw' instep. My s-in-l has the same and also has arthritis in her feet. MOST painful. She has difficulty in getting to grips with it, especially as she takes a 9.5 English size shoe, and the max you get in women's shoes in England is...8 - when you can find em! Crazy. So she has to wait to get over to the USA and then never has any time to go shopping for herself. Sigh.
Dunno IF the biologics work for peripherals...so, might not work on feet? Others who take will know - Mig might pop in, she on Remicade (I think) but is sure to have input.
Hope you can sort - and congrats on IDeeing a decent rheumy. That is 75% of the battle with this spondy monster.
Take care -
Molly C (France)
