Re: Greetings form new reader

Stay with us, new ideas are posted nearly every day, and I have found it very helpful to have a way to connect to other people who share our pain. I'd like to know why pretty shoes can't be made for us, I wear mostly longer skirts too, but find that it just contributes to my feelings of "old granny in dumpy clothes and orthopedic shoes". I'm the lady with the ball gowns and orthopedic shoes, but at least I didn't lose my job as has happened to others with our condition where there was a strict dress code that stated women will wear heels, no exceptions. I still every great once in a while wear a low pair for an hour or so if I know I will be mostly sitting and there's just no way I can face clomping around in my 'nursey Nancy' orthopedics, but I know that I will pay for it with pain the next day. Luckily this job has fewer 'formal events' than the previous one, but then again the previous one had a health plan that allowed me to see my podiatrist without a referral which I can't get now (see my earlier post about "... and still in pain if you want the whole wretched story).
