Thank you so much for the responses. It helps so much to know I'm not completely alone. I did decide today that doctors aside, I can't be on this medication anymore. I'm not stupid, and I know I can't just go off of it, but I also have been on it before and know how to start tapering which I will begin before my appointment Thursday and see if they can get me on an accelerated schedule. I'll end up criminally insane if this isn't resolved fast. Fortunately my husband is being very supportive and says that he wants this resolved as much as me.

I did get a little relief at least today for my pain. I had to go to my best friend's office because I trade work with her since I'm trying to start my own business. I showed up in tears because I got terrible cramps on the way there. She called a friend who does this whole essential oil thing and had her come right over. Now, I'm all fine with the hippie health stuff... I don't use shampoo or soap, but you can't help CRPS by rubbing freaking oil on people's feet. I wasn't just skeptical, I outright thought it was stupid and a waste of time. But whatever, I humored her. Surprisingly I feel better than I've felt all week, more "hit by a truck" and less "hit by a string of trains." I hate it when I'm proven wrong. Also, I smell pretty awesome.
