Re: energy increase with AFOs

[Guest guest]

Dear Barb,

I am 48-

I started wearing AFOS's 2 yrs ago ... so at 46yrs  I wore them almost all the

time and within 3-6months I had a large increase in energy or rather... a marked

decrease in fatigue.  I used to spend most weekends in bed just to be ready for

my week.

Bottom line - try to get lots of rest and wear the AFOs and see if that helps.

Does anyone else experience the same with my observation of AFOs and decrease of

fatigue?

 

Now I only wear the AFOs to do activity- walking, shopping etc but not daily for

my office job.FYI. 2 weeks ago I worked on my house cleaning and painting 12

plus hrs a day for 4 days and then helped a friend move last week.... helped

pack(with my hands) and stupid me walked on marble flooring without shoes(major

stupid) and boy.... I hadn't taken more then 10 pain pills in 8 years and I have

taken 6 in last few days and this weekend I do not plan to get up out of my

chair or bed.

REST! yes and I get to read and do computer and get caught up with my CMT

friends.

Good luck,

Kim
