After 20 years of struggling with doctors (one ruined my knee), I was diagnosed with RSD. My foot has been saved from amputation 5 times, but the doc could not prevent my RSD spreading through my whole body. The consequences of this all are that I am completely bedridden, I wear braces on my whole arms and my leg and have an electric wheelchair. I hardly come outside (maybe twice a week) and when I do it's usual for the hospital. I don't go on holidays either.
I live in an appartment of Assisted Living and my American husband takes care of me the rest of the time. I am on a load of medicines from Tramadol to a plaster with fentanyl, but it seems no one is reaaly able to control my pains anymore. It's also entering my organs now (liver and bladder and I got asthma).
I hope to find some friends here that understand what I'm going through.
