That, Paul, is most probably your problem and maybe you can pinpoint it better by when your sore started compared to when your symptoms began. No, no itching problems for me. Just those awful clammy sweats but, weirdly enough, those clammy sweats were on the upper* left *quadrant of my body while my little sore was on the *right* side of my right foot.
Nothing new under the sun however... something was wrong and my body was reacting to it. More strangely however was that a little over two years ago I had a sore in that same spot but none of the terrible clammy sweats or any other symptoms from that one. But I think we caught that one quickly and I went without a right shoe long before any symptoms had a chance to start. Me no like football. :-) Lori Michaelson C4/5 complete quad, 28 years post Tucson, AZ On Feb 2, 2008 9:08 AM, Paul Jacobson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > *Hi Lori,* > ** > *WOW!!!!!* > ** > *That's it......you had exactly what I have!
