I can now do 6k steps a day without ill effect. I can manage a mile without a stick almost reliably. My abs are *definitely* coming back. I've discovered Hotter brand shoes, which *don't hurt*. I don't eat gluten, cows' milk, soya, or black tea, on no evidence other than how sick they seem to make me. I'm hoping that when everything else gets better I can reintroduce again.

But right now I have lost my voice.

I hope things continue to improve and your voice comes back soon.

Do you know why Hotter shoes don't hurt? (Trying to work out whether I could have some proper sandals that I didn't need orthotics with.)

[ailbhe]

I don't, really. All their insoles come out to accommodate orthotics but I haven't used mine. The toebox is wide enough, the soles offer my arch adequate support, the soles are grippy and firm and flexible, the heel has spare around my narrow heel but it's shaped so that my ankle can be supported so there's no chafing.

They sound very appealing!

That seems to be improvement? All good wishes for it continuing.

Funnily enough I came across a Hotter catalogue recently and thought "should look at those sandals when the current pair start wearing out".

Oh I love Hotter. I wore their sandals all around South America, wouldn't have survived without them. Must get another pair before going to Italy.
