You Know it's bad when....

[Reidy's Bottle Of Grecian]

You Know it's bad when you look on the internet and the pics aren't as bad as your symptoms.

About 2 weeks ago I got a huge blister underneath my foot, which then burst. I then immediately got another one right at the side of it.
I had to change trainers so that a different part of my foot was taking the pressure, and straight away got another blister there.
I switched to a pair of Samba that were nice and snug and provided comfort, then I got a blister down the side.
Now to top it off I have a whopper underneath my foot again in the place where the original one was.


So, thinking that I must have a dodgy foot, and maybe a fallen arch or something is causing my foot to not be sat right it was off to the Dr's.


Contact Dermatitis he says it is, causing blisters. I haven't been wearing shoes that I don't usually wear, so they are ruled out (Adidas LA do seem to irritate them a bit though... athletes foot). I reckon it HAS to be the washing powder that the Mrs has changed to as it almost ties in perfectly, socks washed in it and in close contact.
She's crippled me the cow.

So, as you do, you look on the internet http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0001872/ for what the Doc says you've got, and mine is 10 times worse

Google images is another matter though.

That's not mine, mine is way worse than that, huge blister right where that rash is, and remnants of about 3 others. The only trainers that provided total relief were these footy ones

that I bought to stop me wrecking trabbs at the kids footy, but you'd look a fair t1t walking round in those, they are last years colours for a start.

I shall celebrate when my feet return to normality with a pair of

If I've learned one thing and one thing only, it's never use the internet to diagnose.

I've had head cancer and all sorts.

Watch out for other signs like "checking of life insurance" and "trying out new menus just on you darling".
Best to be careful.

I remember when I almost got meningitis. I say that seriously as I had every symptom in the book. Rashes, head aches, vomiting, couldnt look at light, back pain, pretty much everything.

But then I didnt have it and we all went phew and I'm here today to wind you all up

Perhaps lad, after years of abiding with you, your Mrs has decide you are too much "man" for womankind and rather than let you fall into the wrong hands, she though it best to "do you In". Better that, than your undoubted masculine powers come into the possession of one who lacks the moral fibre to use them for the common good. Like a Magui only with cooler trainers

Allergic reaction apparently, thank god it was my socks that did it and not my snug fitting underwear.

Still hobblin around, I jumped on tyre lever today, I jumped off it a lot quicker.

You need these lad. Not trendy, but they are very good for your feet. (Brooks trainers, BTW)
