I may chat about my books, what I'm writing or reading, or just general thoughts. You may read posts about my cats or just my crazy life in general. Comments are welcome, if anyone wants to interact with me. Maybe we can share war stories, whether it's writing related or just about life in general.

Thank you, sister


Sisters discuss all sorts of things in life no matter how everyday or how personal they are.  That’s the nice things about having a sister to talk to.  I’m lucky enough to have four sisters.  Usually we always learn things from each other and are willing to help each other out with issues.

So discussion turns from family to work and everything in between.  The other week I was chatting with one of my sisters on FB and we got into the subject of feet.  Both of us stand a lot of hours at work so aching feet is a problem we can both relate to.  I find wearing closed in shoes is not for me, but it’s a requirement at work for almost any job.  In fact I have to wear way too many clothes in the summer, so I got in the habit of bringing a tank top to work I can change into for the ride home.  I keep flip-flops in the car.  The only time this thinking doesn’t apply is winter when I’m freezing.




 This is my possible athlete's foot cure

Anyway back to my subject of feet.  I get athlete’s foot if I wear closed in shoes so that’s always an issue to deal with.  My hubby laughs when he sees all my issues (dry eyes, athlete’s foot, etc) that I have to attend to everyday.  I’m sure he’s glad he doesn’t have any of this trouble.



 This is worth a try if you ever have this issue
 
I had been using Tenactin on my feet and also putting Gold Bond medicated foot powder on my feet and in my shoes.  I discovered my big bottle of Tenactin was outdated so was going to buy a new one.  My sister told me to go to Walmart and get some green alcohol (I never noticed they made that color) and to use that on my feet along with the Gold Bond powder.  Her homeopathic doctor told her about this.  She and I would both rather go the homeopathic route when we can.

I’d been washing my feet with antibacterial soap anyway so I poured the alcohol on after and let them air dry and then powdered my toes.  I started her remedy that same evening and I was amazed how well it works.  She told me I’d be amazed and she was right.  It didn’t even take two weeks to get rid of it.  So I’m sold on this now and will keep it on hand at all times.  If anyone needs help with foot issues, try this out.  It really does work.


Now maybe I’ll stop being Dr Sunni and post something else next time.

    1. Betty,

      I never heard of green alcohol either but it's right beside the regular alcohol and is wintergreen scent. Thanks for reading and leaving a comment.

  2. That's a great tip. Not an issue of mine, but a great tip nonetheless. (Do you get insoles for your shoes. They make some good ones to help with standing all day.)

    1. Thanks Liz,

      Please feel free to pass that onto anyone who needs it. Yes, I do have insoles in my shoes and they provide us a rubber mat to stand on too. Closed in shoes are still not for me apparently, but you have to do that in the workplace.

      Thanks for reading and your comment.

  3. Green alcohol? Wow! I had never heard of that. My husband has issues with athletes foot. He works outdoors in the heat and he has to wear closed toe shoes as well. I'm definitely going to get these two things for him. Thanks for teaching me something new. :D xx

    1. Vashti,

      I'm glad I could help. I never heard of it either until one of my sisters told me about it. It's not expensive at all and it REALLY works!

      Thank you for leaving a comment. :-)
