How did you get Morton's neuroma? I thought it was an overuse syndrome. In my case, I was a runner for many years and I've always thought it was all that running. I must have run something like 30-40 thousand miles before a sudden attack of pain my my left foot spelled the end of my running for exercise (I then took up a massive campaign of lap swimming until I couldn't do that anymore either!).
That's my current understanding, some people are susceptible to high blood pressure from salt. I rarely use it myself in cooking, or seasoning prepared meals, I put it on steaks and baked potatoes, occasionally I'll salt roast beef if it needs a little extra oomph. My blood pressure is fine, there are just a lot of other good flavors to enjoy beyond the simplicity of salt.
Yeah, OK, but like I said cutting back on my salt in a long slow campaign (nothing drastic, I had no reasons to do so, just figured it was probably a good idea) had me quite satisfied with lower salt intake than I was previously used to. So much typical American fare tastes too salty to me now.
I don't think that would help me. I can't see green at all. It looks beige or tan or light brown... actually I can't distinguish those particularly, can't say, "yeah, that's beige, that's tan, that's brown." Can NEVER say "that's green." Not once in my life. I like shades that are yellow tinted. Seems to bring the world to life, but I'm still not seeing green. I can make positive identification for red, but the literature says I should not be able to distinguish red from green (given my test results), which I don't understand. I can ID red, never green. Red looks good, but I think not like for people with normal color vision.
Yeah, what I left out is that my doctor recently asked me to start limiting my salt, even though it's fine in my labs. Not due to my HBP that I've had for 2 decades, but the kidneys. Even if blood labs look okay, it can still be hard on your kidneys. I was just commenting on how I don't care at this point, it won't change my eating habits, but I don't use excessive salt now IMO.
Yep, although they can progress at different rates...typically they are both affected for most people unless they had an injury to only one. Mine are both progressing about equally according to imaging done every few years.
Get better sardines, not the big ones, the little cross-packed ones. I think King Oscar "Tiny Tots" IIRC are good, have a yellow label. Haven't had them in years, but used to and they were the best:
If seeing RED makes you feel happy and energized, you are seeing what normal people see.
I didn't say red energizes me or makes me feel happy. It looks to me distinctly red but that does not mean it looks like it does to people with normal color vision. Judging from the literature, i.e. what people say, I have to believe that their red is very definitely not my red.
Have you seen classic paintings? What if there's a painting that reveals a secret only to people with your condition? Like the Mona Lisa.
You aren't alone in your not being able to describe it, as least not succinctly. I've had two friends who were red-green colorblind and they could not tell me what it looked like, they couldn't relate it to another color.
Not sure if that would really do much for the type of pain. But they might do ultrasound. I have a follow up in a few weeks. They adjusted my orthotics, but I don't think orthotics alone are going to fix anything since it's not like I'm in my shoes that often. I'm thinking the ultrasound might help. They also gave me stretches to do, which may possibly be helping, I get good days and bad days. Past few days have been a bit better. I find with this particular issue I kind of have to force myself to walk, it might actually help. When I had the morton thing I couldn't walk at all it just hurt too much. I still worry that will come back though... it's just masked by the cortizone right now.
Look up colorblindness online and you will find a dizzying, elaborate, complicated mind-boggling assortment of information. One wouldn't expect it to be that complicated, but there are many kinds.
There are different kinds of red-green colorblindness, it's quite clear. I was tested and what they tell me doesn't make sense in terms of my experience. They call me a strong protan, based on my responses to the test. But what they say about what I should be experiencing isn't what I experience. One day I suppose I'll peddle down to EnChroma offices and try on their expensive glasses.
I'd be skeptical. I don't respond well to eating fish. I can barely eat 3 ounces of sardines even for health reasons. Mental clarity is a benefit but the act of procreation? Nah.Eat 8 cans of sardines a day. Your vigor and vitality will sky rocket!
You'll be 25 again.
Look up Stretch-EZ at Amazon. Also, Plantar Fasciitis night splints. I bought a few of those almost 10 years ago when the problem was pretty bad. I'm not sure they did much for me. Basic stretching and time did help.
Well, tomorrow (Weds.) I have my radio show. Early Thursday I'll do my biweekly shopping trip and get supplies that will enable me to better deal with the atmospheric river that's going to slam into us Thursday and Friday. So, maybe next week...
