Littlepaw,

I was going to call them this morning, the pain is back.... Yesterday while at my boyfriends parents eating dinner, enjoying myself, all of a sudden it all came crashing back... I just wanted to die!!! I cannot believe I felt so good I actually slept for 2 days the day of the block and the day after, then Friday, OMG I woke up and thought God gave me a new body... then yesterday he took it away.....


Friday when I went to therapy I wanted to smack my therapist, who I thought was on board with this. I was so excited, walking on clouds when I walked into her office. I could have moved mountains!!! When I told her how I felt, she said it could be the Lyrica working, and I said I don't think so, I could feel the difference Lyrica was making and had been on it for over 2 weeks, this was a WOW difference, not the gradual difference Lyrica was giving me. And I made the statement that since the block seems to be working now maybe the PM doc will believe the it is RSD/CRPS and not just in my head. She actually looked at me and said, you really don't want it to be RSD, that is not a very fun condition to have. I was shell shocked!!!! I just started laughing, and said you realize that 2 doctors have already diagnosed it, and I have been dealing with it for almost a year? And I would like the PM doc to realize that is what it is so that I may get proper treatment, AND since Workers comp already has this condition listed as an approved condition, I don't want this doctors ignorance messing it up.... I was floored!!! I have been going to this therapist since the beginning!!! I'm going to take to her today when I go in, a photo copy of the approved conditions for my claim, and the doctors notes from the doctor that WC sent me to, which they based their decision on, and let her chew on that.... grrr

I also wanted to ask, I notice, and have since they did the manipulation on my shoulder, that my face, neck, and ear on right side tingles and when touched feels like someone just slapped me. This slapped feeling lasts for several minutes. Sometimes it is so intense my eyes water. Ideas???

Besides her, I had a great weekend, but yesterday it all came to a crashing end, not sure what to do????? Just want to curl up in a ball and cry till everything can end...
