Hello everyone,

It's Saturday the 23rd @ 9:45pm. I'm in the US as well Hopeless (I'm in Hawaii) and I'm very sorry for making you worried. As you can imagine, this week has been hell on me physically and mentally. And I have been trying my hardest to get the rest I needed. I did have my meds to help me, but I truly believe out of all the medications I take, the Prednisone is the ONLY one that has actually done any good. It's helped a bit with the swelling in the thighs and shins/calves but not so much with the knee and foot. The redness and warmth haven't gone away either but it is at a much lower tone in color. My pain meds have no lasting effect on the actual pain so I have been suffering a lot. Mostly I've been just trying to sleep it off but we all know that doesn't work either. I can't get into a comfortable position and the tremors and spasms are still occurring. I've spiked a fever it keeps going up to 101.2 and then staying at 99.8. I literally feel like crap or like I've been plummeted by a tractor trailer or something. Even though at the urging of my husband I did not go to the ER. Why? Because to me it's a waste of time every time I go there. They don't do anything for me anyway and to even get up from bed which is a huge task in itself to go there was too much for my body and brain to wrap around. So....I've been here at home trying my best to do what I need to. My hubby works a lot so my momma's been here to help me get up to go to the restroom and fix me something to eat. Towards the end of this week I can actually walk somewhat or more like drag my legs using my walker but both of my legs are VERY unstable at the moment. So it's a bit scary at times. I also did not make a "follow" up appointment with my pain doc like he said I should because duh I can't drive. I'm just gonna wait till I have my normal appointment with him which is soon to talk about everything because I'm still mad. I don't get how he said I probably don't have CRPS when I've supposedly have had it for the past 10 years and I know for a fact that those injections work best within a year from diagnosis. Just FYI I will never get another injection EVER! As of now, I'm doing alright I suppose....as good as can be expected I guess. I just wanted to respond so y'all don't worry and I will write more when I am able. Thank you all for your concern, it is truly appreciated!!!

Gentle hugs to everyone!!! And hope y'all have a great night.
