Hi Lillian and thank you for the support all along. I suspected the
thalidomide because his diabetes is generally very mild, though it went
through the roof this last time. My grandmother was an insulin diabetic for
45 yrs (she got it at 45 and lived to 90), yet my father only had to take one
small pill (maybe 20 mg) daily and he got it at 70 yrs. They didn't rule out
the diabetes as a cause, but my father said he hasn't had foot/leg pain at
all last few days and it has been subsiding over the past 2 weeks, since she
took him off the thalidomide. I think maybe if he had had a break in the
thalidomide - 3 months on, a month off it may have helped, but who knows?
