GreyHoundLover,
Thanks for your kind words...We planned on getting pregnant before we were even married because my RSD had just gone full-body and I was afraid we wouldn't be able to have kids. I got pregnant in 4 months of trying and had to stay on the Fentanyl Patch 75mcg/hr..luckily I went into a slight remission from 6 weeks - 30 weeks. My first flare-up wasn't until 1 month postpartum (2 weeks ago)...I guess your body takes about 6 months to return its hormone levels to normal. So, since I had just gotten full-body, I simply forgot the really bad days. They are slowly returning. We had our ANGEL...My husband and I don't think I could go through another pregnancy with RSD.

I am going through a tough time right now. I am dealing with a million meds, home alone all day with Sky, lil bit of postpartum depression, and not knowing what to expect with my pain in the next couple months.

Did you have your kids with RSD? BTW, you are an inspiration to me. To take care of one baby is enough. I couldn't imagine being a single mom with two toddlers. You are incredible! And to make it through a nasty divorce, I couldn't imagine...you must be a "ROCK"!


JcrewRockStar,

Much Thanks to you also! I loved the Poem! My favorite insert:
"A strong woman is a woman who loves
strongly, and weeps strongly, and is strongly
terrified and has strong needs."

So, I called Bryan at work and I told him that he was my ANGEL and he said, "I know"! lol..

You make me feel so good with all of your compliments. I was having a pretty down morning and you brought me right back up.

I Love you both already very much...you will both always hold a place in my heart!

Heather
