I am so glad that you're getting some medication benefits, and hope you continue to do so :)

Also, that you find some awesome boots! If it helps at all (assuming this isn't the place you went to) - there's a store at the Warwick shops which sells really nice orthapaedic/podiatrist type shoes, which only opened a year or so ago (if that). They do tend to be $$$ but great quality. Not sure if they have boots or not, though. I could scope it out for you, if you wanted (and hadn't been there yourself)?
