Pain currently controlled - now the other CRPS symptoms come out!
I'm one month post-op with the pain pump. The prialt is working really well. I do know I have a little issues with memory, but not anything more than when I had to start up my anti-seizure med.
My work had asked me to go to part time. I'm still a bit depressed about it, but really, I'm depressed that I'm in this state more than anything. I'm finding that there are a lot of symptoms I'm dealing with that come along with CRPS that nothing is going to fix. BRAIN FOG being the worst. Being tired, not being able to get as much done, it taking three times as long is still all there.
I feel like the "other" symptoms is what's going to do me in. I feel like I should just throw in the towel, go on full disability and apply for SSDI. My DH keeps saying that I'm just still healing from the surgery. I know that all this other stuff was riding along with the CRPS, but managing the pain was such a priority that I didn't really think about the other symptoms as a seperate issue.
What are you guys all doing for the brain fog and fatigue? Do I just have to get used to it? Will it get better at all?
