Hi Az-Di,
It was such a buzz to get your lovely reply,
I am here for you if you need my support,too.
I hear your concerns re if you need sugury.like you i carry that worry too,but i coap on a daily basis by doing my garden and taking a day at a time.
If i cant garden i go for a walk in the fresh air.When its really bad i dont want to do anything,which is v bad mentally.,my husband is great he says come on lets do something nice.its usually a great effort,but if i get out the house for a while it usually lifts my mood,as does excersise.
Ive joined the village art groupe,and find getting absorbed in that helps as well.
Are you able to use a paintbrush?
I will let you know how things progress with my dilema!
Big hug

Not only was my broken wrist surgery screwed up I got RSD/CRPS as well in my hand and arm. They refuse to do further corrective surgery. I don't know what I'd do if i needed surgery elsewhere. My P.M. Dr. said she would probably give nerve blocks before and after surgery and hope for the best. I also take Vitamin c 500-100 mg. to help prevent spread. My RSD beast is kept pretty with nerve blocks for right now.
Tough decision for you I know. When I went for colonoscopy I was worried if they had to cut out any possible pollips. That Dr. told bluntly that the RSD probably won't directly kill me even if I wished it would, but colon cancer would.
Thankfully no cutting was necessary.
Please keep us updated.  |
