Message: <blockquote data-quote="callieuk" data-source="post: 1805151" data-attributes="member: 472047">Bit of an odd one this and some of these activities I've been doing for a while quite happily but a couple of different people /things I've read have given me warnings about.Foot spas - I have used a foot spa for years, I wear cheap shoes and get sweaty feet, so it's pretty much essential for me (and those around me <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite39" alt=":hilarious:" title="Hilarious    :hilarious:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":hilarious:" />) after a long day at work!  I also go barefoot 90% of the time at home.  I've been told to stop both as it's not good for me but no one can say why!Hottub/jacuzzi - again I've been warned off but no one gives me a reason why!  I have no nerve damage, but I do have fibromyalgia and the sports club jacuzzi is a godsend after exercise. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite49" alt=":meh:" title="Meh    :meh:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":meh:" />Waxing - a colleague looked at me in horror when I was planning to get my legs waxed prior to going on holiday in a couple of weeks and properly chastised me for it.   It's a couple of years since I have but I used to go regularly with no consequences.  I am diagnosed now and on Gliclazide but again no reason why, just that it's a risk and that the beautician would want a letter from the doc.  TMI maybe but I do home wax on my face so should I stop?Should I stop, I feel conflicted now<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite70" alt=":woot:" title="Woot    :woot:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":woot:" />Cal</blockquote>
