Electrical current through foot, the other hangs in walking midway through a step, anyone else?

In Reply to:
have this problem? I have been to numerous physicians, have been told neuropathy. I am walking so gingerly this morning around the home because know if I step flat on 1 foot (left) it will have the electrical current as happened earlier this morning. Always when walking, never with lying, sitting, etc. You never know when it will happen. The other foot (pedal foot, right) will hang in mid air sometimes when I am taking a step which makes me hop so I will not fall. Gosh, I would love to look forward to my vacation this summer but sometimes the feet ok and then other times not so good. I know the electrical current is probably nerve related but have been told so many nerves in the foot would be like looking for needle in haystack to trace down. I mostly only wear bergies and put them on as soon as I get out of bed. This is not good!!

One more thing, the electrical current differnt, so
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
I beg to differ.....going by who she hangs around with.
Jay-Z attended George Westinghouse High School in Downtown Brooklyn and Trenton Central High School in Trenton, New Jersey but did not graduate. He claims to have been caught up in selling drugs, which he refers to in his music.
Jay-Z was accused of stabbing record executive Lance "Un" Riviera for what he perceived was Riviera's bootlegging of Vol. 3... Life and Times of S. Carter. The stabbing allegedly occurred at the record release party for Q-Tip's debut solo album Amplified at the Kit Kat Klub, a now defunct night club in Times Square, New York City, on December 9, 1999.
Jay-Z's associates at the party were accused of causing a commotion within the club, which Jay-Z allegedly used as cover when he supposedly stabbed Riviera in the stomach with a five-inch blade.
Nice role model, huh?
LOL
when mine were pups, they'd chew ANY electrical cord sm
I'd be working and all of the sudden everything would go dead. I swear I'd watch for them, but they'd sneak under my desk and do it. Phone cords too. I became very good at splicing phone/electrical cords. But once they chewed through my C-phone (back in the day) footpedal cord. I totally freaked. No one could fix it. Company was a little miffed, but they wanted me to work, so they sent another ;-)
Hang in there. She might grow out of it... anyhow, if that's her picture I see, I could never get mad at that sweetie.
Oh... you might want to check regular headphones at the store. I stepped on the ones my company sent (cracked 'em in half) and had to make an emergency trip to Walmart. The ones I have now (Sony I think?) are actually better than what I had.
tell the govt that, what with the wet-foot-dry-foot
Me? I'm a walking commercial for them! LOL.
Am still amazed at how well they clean! Also have a microfiber mop. I used to get on my hands and knees and scrub my floors, but after I found this mop, that's all I use! I have so many of these cloths around my house because I just don't want to be without them! Have given them to my DILs and my friends, and they love them too. I can just go on and on about them. I know it's crazy, but after all the years of scrubbing and hands that get cracked and dried from chemicals, I just can't say enough about them.
I'm walking for babies!
Hello everybody!
I posted this before but i wanted to repost and explain some things. First of all, i never ever receive any of the money when you donate it goes straight to the Walk America people. I just thought this was for a really good cause and thought maybe some of you would want to be included on this serious problem in our world. You can donate as little or as much as you want.
http://www.walkamerica.org/tanyabyer
That is the website they made for me. I'll be walking 4-14 in my hometown. Or if you know anybody that would want to be included let them know! Thanks so much for your time and i won't repost this again lol. Just thought some of you thought maybe it was a scam or something.
Thanks again.
I have walking pneumonia
I was diagnosed Thurs. and have laid around till today and I feel better with the z-pak the doctor gave me. I am on day 4 with meds. I got up and did small things yesterday and today but I am so used to be up and doing so much more. I like to run 2 miles with my dog daily and go to the local Y to lift weights 3 x a week. I am no string bean by any means I just wish I would feel more awake and alert. Has anyone ever went through this crud? I am 36 and am wondering when I will feel back to my active self again. I just got up from an hour nap and still feel sleepy. I heard it takes some up to 10 weeks. My mom told me it stays in my system for 5 YEARS. Gosh, she was no help. Just let me know if anyone of you have any advice please and thank you!
Tips on walking my dog
This is my dog Kane, doesn't he look sweet?
He is not sweet on our walks, he is a big butt nugget, he pulls and wants to walk as fast as he can.
I try and wait for him to calm down before we leave for the walk but as soon as I touch the door knob he gets excited.
I am just using the leash as a collar and leash, I wrap it around his neck so I can pull it when he acts up, which is the enitre walk!
Any ideas on how to stop the pulling and make him focus and mind?
Yes, walking my dogs about 4 x a week.
They drive me nuts any day they don't get their walk. It's almost easier to just give in and walk them, and we all feel much better. A good one is closer to 3 miles I think. I am fortunate that so many new neighborhoods have been built around me, although it does mean the dirt roads/woods are disappearing, but those were too muddy a lot, so it's a tradeoff. I've lost 5 lbs since getting the new dog, CJ. He likes a faster pace.
Glad I could help!! Walking is the ticket..sm
and it doesn't have to be FAST walking - just consistent walking everyday and everyday doing a tad more in distance.....
I also wrote down what I ate during those 6 weeks and tried to keep everything under 1000 calories per day....but I forgot to protect my teeth/gums...and bottom gums receded (early)...take minerals/vitamins if you do this!!!
Good luck hon...*S* It can be done!
I'm walking in your shoes, but I walked further
There is only so much you can do. If she is a danger to herself or others, you can get an involuntary committment from a court to have her placed in a psych ward. It depends on your state how many witnesses you need and how far gone she is.
My dd stays with her dad (my ex) and I have had to cut off all ties. She finally got into a methadone program and got a job (which she quit when she got a garnishment on her paycheck for past-due child support) and is going to the local county health department where she was placed on a mood stabilizer. Every time I have talked with her over the past year, it seems she is worse than the time before. I don't think she is on the right meds. I have had to cut off all contact with her because I am raising her child and I just do not have the energy to be everything to everyone.
Like your child, my dd was depressed - I even saw it starting at about the age of 9 months. She was cycling in manic/hypomanic moods by the time she was 7 years old, only back then we didn't know what it was. We just thought she was high strung and spoiled. When she was 11, a close friend of hers from school committed suicide and she began self-mutilation. At the age of 14, she got kicked out of several psychologists offices because she lied and manipulated them. She lived on the streets in New Orleans at the age of 15 and it took us a year to find her. She finally came home with her boyfriend so she could get off the street and promptly got pregnant. She was "okay" while she was pregnant, but after the baby was born and the guy left, she got into drugs. OxyContin is her drug of choice. She chose that life including stealing her dad's credit cards and lots of other things I would be ashamed to post in public. She chose that over her child. I am now raising that child and I don't see things getting better even with all the "help" she is getting.
I'm sorry you are going through this, but one thing I do know is this: If you keep giving her money, a place to stay, food to eat, clothes to wear, she will NOT have any personal motivation to get better. She can sell the food and clothes for drugs. She can use the money for drugs. She will use you until you are all used up, and then what good will you be when she finds she really needs you for something important, like making different choices for her life? I wish you all the best. I know how heartbreaking this is for you. Funny thing is, I get okay with not having a relationship with her until I talk to her, then I fall apart for a few days and have to disconnect again to keep going ahead with my own life. So for me, I have to allow her to make her own choices even if it means that one day soon I could be attending her funeral.
That's my 6-foot, 3-inch hubby and 6-foot, 5-inch son...
Those quotation marks and apostrophes don't show up on this board, do they!
Also, forgot to mention that the Prius is a whopping 90% less emissions than a regular combustion engine. That's a plus. The electric engine supplements the gas and so the car never loses ground going up hills, great pick up. And don't worry about the rumor that says the batteries eventually die and need pricey replacement. That's not true. There are several individual cells that are not at all expensive to replace and should last many, many miles. There are lots of older Prius on the road now that are going strong after 200,000 miles on the road with not even one cell replacement, much less the entire battery system. They are THE standard for hybrid design right now.
You can find out more about them at the dealer or by googling. The tech-geeks really like the car and put out lots of detailed information on the internet about the Prius.
Mine will just kind of keep walking as I am talking (sm)
he will just walk out of the room as if he expects me to get up and follow him and keep talking if I expect him to hear me. He is "in charge" of many projects in his profession. He has a lot of people who work under him and brings the same attitude home. I hate it too. Many times I have said to him, "Look, I don't work for you, buddy, I'm your wife." But he continues to do it. We get in big arguments about it. As far as the sex issue between you two - you don't go into great detail but I would say you are going to have to really have a major conversation about that and tell him that you no longer like playing that role. It sounds like he just expects to rule over you both in bed and out of bed. You are going to have to change all that - but let me tell you it is going to be a big transitioning process! I am still not content with my life as it is, but I have made a lot of headway. But when I decided to stop being a doormat, I offended my inlaws as well as my husband. When people get really used to someone being very submissive then as soon as you start to assert yourself, they are taken aback. They become offended and feel like they have to fight for their dominant role again. This is disgusting but it's almost like a pack of dogs fighting for who is going to be the Alpha. I have to constantly remind my husband that no one has to be the "boss" and that we are not each other's competition. I am still stuck to a degree though, and like you, I think it all stemmed from letting it start out this way. I think talking to your minister is a good first step, but you, yourself are going to have to be more assertive and what you did - turning around like that - was a great first step. Yes, it made him angry. And there will probably be a lot more arguments on the way. The other lady who posted about how great her marriage is blah, blah, she just likes to brag about her situation all the time. I am happy for her, but her life is not like ours is right now. She has no idea what we are talking about. We all know there are good men out there and if we had one, we would gladly be constantly affectionate and have sex with him all the time - we all want that. So I just want to say one big "good for you" to her and hope she reads this. One day when she's in a nursing home maybe I'll have a great second husband and I'll e-mail her about all the great sex I'm having.
Walking 'round in Women's Underwear lol
Not really my favorite but the funniest...lol
Have you tried the In-home walking DVDs by Leslie Sansone?
http://www.lesliesansone.com/about/index.htm
How about Leslie Sansone's walking off the weight videos? nm

Going to Ruth Chris in Coral Gables and probably walking around
xx
Yes, sure you are correct, I didn't catch the 'An walking'..nm
'An walking'.
I regard myself as an 'grammarian.'
My mistakes are almost always just typos.
Well, with his current predicament, I'm not surprised
Is he careless or just stoopid? lol
Current hairstyles..to RetroMT
I don't think it will be an easy task to find any beauticians like we had in the old days. I am really exasperated in my "do" I have been attempting to grow from very short style with the aid of a very expensive guy who states the style is coming along nicely. This is third time I have went to him and he says the style he is trying to do is "coming along" nicely. It looks nice one day, then the rest of the days, I am back to wearing one of my hats and/or wigs. I don't think I will continue much longer, too expensive just for what??
But I do know what style you are talking about, hope you can find someone that thinks that way. I don't recall if I had many of those
sets"
My current husband is just the opposite...
In the 8 years we have been married he has paid over $97,000 in child support for his 2 children. His youngest daughter is getting married (and will be giving up the rest of her child support) and the child support will finally end. There are dads and moms out there who do pay their support. I hope you all get the back money owed to you. My ex owes my 2 daughters between 20-25 thousand. I never counted on it in the first place and when it sporadically came in I was happy, kind of like a bonus every now and then.
current and past choices
Current: NCIS, Mad Men, Damages
Past: West Wing, Will & Grace, M*A*S*H, Shark, Golden Girls
so with the current state of the economy
Banks aren't safe anymore...I think i would buy up lots of $100,000 homes and rent them out...since the forclosure rate is so high more people wil be renting. Then when the economy turns back around I can sell my property. Better than putting money in the bank!
okay, curious here -- what's the current temp outside
60 degrees inside, freezing fingers. headed for a steaming hot bubble bath, then back to work.
Your current favorite shows to watch?
My #1 is biggest loser! I absolutely LOVE this show (watchin it now). it always makes me tear up so much! I love the inspiration of these people. oh i love it so much!!! At the end of the show I always feel like I know them and I'm so proud of them. haha
My other ones are My Sunday shows: Extreme Makeover Home Edition, Desperate Housewives and Brothers&Sisters
Monday The Bachelor
Tuesday Biggest Loser and Law&Order SVU
that's about it for the week!!
IMO a current PDR (Physicians Desk Reference), which runs about $200.00 (sm)
but WELL worth the expense.
Here is a great site that lists all current deals on CCs......
Use the drop down menu to search the different features. I have used it to find balance transfer deals, etc.
It just shows the current moral climate of our country...
you can advertise a site offeriing help to have an extramarital affairs but don't try to push anythig that has anything to do with morals or values such as church, God, taking personal responsibility, etc. Very troubling times indeed.
Unfortunately, if you don't change your eating habits, you will just maintain your current weight
To see real results, you are going to need to change your diet. You need protein, fiber, and good carbohydrates for energy. What you need to stay away from are the saturated fats, trans fats, and high-calorie/high-fat foods. Always be sure to eat a full breakfast since that will boost your metabolism and keep you from overeating the rest of the day. Also be sure to stop eating at least 2-3 hours before bedtime. Once you have been exercising for a while, your body will get used to it, and you will need to pick up the pace and start doing more than just treadmill workouts and giving your body more challenges. Hope this helps.
FBI would not step-in sm
without justifiable cause, you wouldn't think... oh the gossip..... I worked with a lady that her husband was molesting the grandchildren, and he served like 20 years. She was in denial, and when he got out she took him back, and there were more grandchildren by then. What a world we live in! 
yes, that is my (our)next step.
we have 14 little kids from ages 5 to 9 in 6 different houses on my street. (2 are mine). when we bought this house 6 years ago, right before my second child was born, we were the only family with kids....this has become too too too much.
It's a serious step, but.... (sm)
if you are firmly committed to the animal it's sometimes for the best for peaceful coexistence. I had to have my first cat declawed at my mother's insistence (I still lived at home). I took a day off work and babied him as he recovered from this major surgery. After I was married, our second cat we had to have done because she couldn't understand why the other cat could scratch everything and she couldn't! I couldn't get her to stick with the scratching post, of course! We had those two for many years and after the first one died, we got a kitten, and since the second cat was never much of a "scratcher," he was easier to train and is intact. The second cat later passed away of old age and we adopted an older cat who seems to like my couch, but given that he is an escape artist, I've decided I have to live with it in case he gets out.
Another option is those little rubber caps that they have in the pet store that glue onto the claws; sometimes they can buy you some time while you work on training.
Good luck!
Step up
You need to step up here and be the parent. . Tell your husband. . Do not let your child bully/scare you into allowing her to continue this behavior. . Make her stick to your rules.. When she is staying with approved friends, call the parents and make sure she is there. . Where would she go if she left home? I doubt there is anywhere else she would be treated as well or have things as nice as she does in her own home with her loving parents. . She is a smart girl and will realize that - she is just playing you.. It is your duty to raise her in the way YOU konw is right.
Anyone else going to Cancun for Spring Break and concerned about current safety concerns
We're all set to go to Cancun for Spring Break and then we hear all of this on the news about people being careful in Mexico because of the drug cartel activities and killings etc. Does this even involve Cancun or is it just the border places. The Spring Breakers are being warned about going so it makes me wonder if it is just the borders as most Spring Breakers do not go to the border towns. Does anyone have anymore information. I have a good friend who met her husband in Mexico, has crossed the borders etc and she said going to Mexico isnt worth risking your life because they hate Americans. Yikes.. I don't know whether to go or not or if I'm just being paranoid now.
Or if you step on a crack
you break your mother's back. To this day I have an OCD thing where I can't step on cracks. I wonder if this is why.
Well you just described my Step-mom, even though I love her. nm
!
To: Think you should step back sm
Nah, you are not worth a reply! You get back what you put in... nothing!!!! Zilch - Hey, next time step up -- leave a REAL NAME!!! Coward!
HA! Me too. My son is using my step machine
!
She has a step-father who can be
somewhat of a tyrant. I hope he is not the cause. 
Well, Step-One: Get it appraised by an outside
on TODAY's market, which in most areas is anywhere from 40%-50% lower than it would've appraised for 3 years ago, when home values were obscenely inflated.
Then see about the loan at the current appraisal rate, NOT what it was worth 3 years ago. Maybe you'll have better luck that way.
Friend or not, I would shy away from having the house appraised by someone who is a friend of the current owner's. That would be a conflict of interest that's better steered clear of.
Good luck!
Personally, I do not see this as a step backwards--sm
as MOST of the women seeking abortion are children themselves and only want to rid themselves of a situation they created, being oblivious and not wanting to face any consequences of..getting pregnant. In other words, they want to be able to have sex without paying any price for that, i.e. having a baby. A lot of these *children* seeking abortion should be made to see that what they are seeking to terminate is human life and if that child were born, it would be considered murder. This human life is not a *tumor* or *cyst* that must be excised to save ones own life, but is a human life all its own. Viewing an ultrasound of that baby prior to having an abortion may deter some *children* from going through with that procedure. Other than the *forcing* aspect of it, I really think it would eliminate a lot of needless abortions. More strenuous parental control on these *children* having sex in the first place would be a better alternative. JMO
Still, one needs to step back and be objective
This kid came to the US at age 8, probably not speaking English. His parents probably did not speak English, so he has to learn English at school. He was no surrounding by a Korean community. He was put in the middle of an English speaking neighborhood. Info coming out about his parents certainly seem that they were also loaners, so to speak, without a support system. Can you just imagine what this kid felt? If his parents have no real friends, they speak Korean, he is supposed to speak English and he, according to others, had no real friends, never socialized. So, before someone says this had nothing to do with where he came from, we have to think in this case it may had.
When a child that age is taken from his community (and he does have friends at that point), without a good support system around him, they do not flourish. The kids that had to be uprooted at that age with hurricane Katrina found themselves in other schools, other communities, no one they know. My daughter taught several of those children and I can say that they really do have resentment, bitterness, withdrawn, scared, isolated, and it comes out. Many of their parents are not coping, so how do they cope? This kid went all through school not fittng in. With that hateful play of a child killing his stepfather, I can't help but wonder if he lived with his father or stepfather, and if he didn't feel all these things after being taken from his homeland. He lived in an affluent area, which is far different than he lived in. If he never fit in, and not knowing his home life, one could open their minds to how he finally cracked.
Your husband needs to step up to the plate, no one else can do it!!
He needs to do it at the next opportunity. You teach people how to treat you. His silence speaks volumes to them. I feel for you. Went through something a little like this with my MIL for YEARS. She had nothing against me, just the fact that her dear son had married anyone. He finally told her to watch what she said to me or to anyone else about me because word was getting back to me or he would have no contact with her. She turned overnight into the best friend I have ever had. I have never heard her saying another bad word about me. Your husband needs to put these people on *notice* and NOW. Best of luck to you.
How wonderful to know someone like your step-uncle!
Have a great weekend with your family!
There are 6 of us, 3 boys and 3 girls, some of us are even step
We all get along fairly well actually, its some of the sistes-in-law and brothers-in-law that we cannot stand ! LOL. Thankfully, (not to be mean), but everyone, except 1 is divorced from the ones we couldnt stand and now they have found others that we get along with. My one brother is still single after his divorce.
We used to kid around "what is wrong with so-and-so? - Oh yeah, they are not like us!!"
Step up and be the parent! If he decides he wants

Why a mini-strike? Keep it up and they will step up

Mine is to step away from the table....LOL!

My step-mother was with my little brother
He was from her first marriage but my dad adopted him when he was 5. It didn't really get bad until he started junior high. She went to the shcool every year and sat down with the guidance counselor and made up his schedule. She did this all the way through high school. When he started college she wanted to go with him to sign up for his classes. I told her how embarrassing that would be for him but she said other people would just think she is an older student waiting to register. Since he was going to a local college and there would definitely be several people there that knew him as well as her we were able to talk him out of it. When he started medical school she went with him to find an apartment. Upon return she described the furnished apartment to me to a T, although she couldn't remember my dog's name LOL!. Needless to say his first wife didn't like her....but we didn't like the wife either. He current wife doesn't like her either but at the same time both times my brother married very controlling women, just like his mom. I will say this, she has gotten much much better. Thank goodness, he is now 34 and lives 8 hours away.
Step-grandchildren advice anyone?
My son and DIL have dated since my step-granddaughter was 6 months old. They would be together, break up, get back together....you get the picture. Whenever they would break up, DIL would come and get any pictures I had of my step-granddaughter because "I would just throw them away." I have completely stayed out of the situation between my son and DIL because I knew they would be back together in a couple of weeks. At first, I was VERY attached to my now step-granddaughter. I have evidently built up a wall now and I am having a very hard time being a "real" grandma to her. I feel so guilty about this but just can't seem to become attached to her. I guess I've built up some walls in fear that she will be taken away again like she had been so many times before. I know it isn't her fault. By the way, she is 8 now and they have been married for 4 years. Anyhow, they are trying to have a baby and I am so excited...but feel horribly guilty because of it. I just know in my heart that this baby will always be my grandchild. By the way, DIL's parents are divorced and they all spoil my granddaughter like it is a competition. She has every toy imaginable. I guess my question is, how do I get over it and really be a grandma to her?
Am I the Wicked Step-Mother?
I know I don't post here much but I do read and feel you are all friends. I offer prayers for those that request them and feel for those with troubles.
I would like to know what you think about my latest dilemma. I came home from town today to find a phone call from my step-daughter, age 43. She has my cell phone number but for some reason she won't call me on it. Anyway I called her back and as usual she wants money, $500. I have lent her money in the past with the promise to pay back but it never happens. I know they say if you lend money to family consider it a gift and I have. I said "no" this time and now I feel terrible. She started out by saying she had a medical bill to pay and then turned it around to a DUI fine that has to be paid by Jan. 1. She got picked up in August for a tail light out and had been drinking with co-workers. Her story. I was advised by the court not to help her so that was part of the reason I said "no". She works two part-time waitressing jobs. She's divorced and no kids. She said she would pay me back $100 a month. If that is true why couldn't she have saved $100 a month and had the money to pay the fine? She called me a few weeks ago and I know she wanted money then but she didn't come right out and ask until today.
Thanks for listening, I appreciate it.
