Hello
and hope everyone had a good and pain free safe Holiday

You ask what my symptoms are like most mine are full body spasms,are everyday, like if I over do it, PT sets them off and so dose being in a car, jerks, jolts its like I was just hit with a bolt of lighting, and my hold body jumps, jerks, they are new, and they happen just as I am relaxing short term memory loss that is a fun one, I can take my pills and just as I am done I really have to think if I took them, just about anything, from day to day,
I have the burning pain, feet and hands, feel that, but I do get the burning pain from my neck down my hole spine, to my shoulders,down my arms to the plums of my hands I can feel it, and on parts of my body from time to time, I now have very dry skin, and nails, I do change colors, I posted some pics you can see a red rash I get on my left arm, and from that I get like a gun shot feeling in that arm, that can last from 5 min to 30 or more, but that pain take's me down, then I get them in my sleep, that is if I get any, about 2 to 3 maybe 4 hrs a night,
my hole spine has something wrong with that, all from the auto crash, had an MRI right before I was hit, and that was all clear, so that is how we know when she hit me all my neck and back was from her, hitting me,
swollen limbs at times ,, I do not get that a lot, but its there, my hands and one arm and one foot, my feet and hands have more of my joints that are swollen, and now my toes are just hooks, they look more pale but then they can turn very red to dark looking,
my back is stuck, very stiff , I can not stand up right, bent over, can only walk a little at a time, I fall a lot, weakness and pain, and spasms and lose of muscle tone
can not lift my arms, at all when you put your arms out in fount of you I can only bring mine up to my belly button, then that's it, I can bend them in to my body and then bring them up to about the top of my head, witch is not easy to do, but I will take what I can get, its been worse, last year I could not even do that, had to have someone come in a help with showers, OMG
and then I now lost all hair under arms and most of my legs it is almost all gone,
I get the feeling of pins and needles, numbing pain, head hurts over heating,
sweating a lot, all over, yes I had my self check for all types of things like for MS /Parkinson look at my heart and blood work, all good,
my BP runs low also, in the 70s to the 60s, but there have been times it shot up there, in my Dr's office, and was made to stay till it came back down,
that was from pain,
there are times you can not touch me, and I been stuck in bad, or wake up from pain and crying,
my hands want to stay closed all the time, my hair on my head has grown like crazy, but its falling out now, I see a lot more everyday,
I have RSD of the face also, I had one really bad flair up, before I knew about RSD, just thought it was from stress, but it was RSD, the pain from that, was none stop for about 3 mouths, I really thought I was going to rip my face off, or lose my mind,
the cold will send me in to spasms and take my down as soon as the cold air hits me, grooved nails and lost one toe nail now,
my burning pain started 3 days after the crash, to my right thumb, and that was the worse pain I had ever felt, to the point I could not stop crying in frunt of everyone in the Dr's waiting room, and on my way there and back
cried like a baby,
I was told by my PT that I went full body so fast due to I had a spinal cord injury that no one knew about and very bad whiplash, all from Trauma
I stop wearing my jeans and things like that almost from the start,
it felt like when I ran my hand over part of my skin, it was being torn open,
I even look for blood, the tearing feeling of my skin was really freaky
I get the temperature changes can be ice cold to the touch and sweaty
witch I never was a sweater person before, hate to have anything on my body, lose soft PJ's only, that has been almost from the start, about 4 mouths after my crash, that started slow, then I could not wear anything tight on me at all,
I have wasting of the muscles I do not walk much, I live alone, and fall a lot so I stay down, most of my days and nights,
oh and lets not forget the good old depression and anxiety, I can cry at the drop of a pin, headache I take only Baclofen for my spasms
I did the warm pool PT LOVE IT,

As far as going back, to my old Lawyer, I am not sure, I do know he knew about what RSD is, he won cases of them, from his web site,
he could of saved me a lot of harm, and worries, if he would of said something like to a Dr, that knew what to look for,
I just think I was an out of St, and I was an easy win for him,
how often do you hear of an Auto Ins Co paying out the max without taking any depos from no one but myself and the lady that hit me, and that was it
and they paid out the max, after that, it was fast,
then I learned I have RSD

now my new Lawyer, just for my auto ins co, there is not much I can do about him, we are to far in to this, and there is no money in it, not a lot, and he took my case before RSD again,

I been from NY to NJ to Ohio at the CC to the U of M all for pain,
no one seen what was going on right in fount of them
CC wanted me to do there pain and PT program,
my Ins Co said no, this is before, RSD and I still have my Auto In,
I was also told I would need surgery on my neck, my Auto Ins co again said no, and so on, its been a game to them from the start, they did not believe me that I had TMJ my back tooth broke in the back up in the gum, they had to pull it about 4 weeks after I was in the crash, and my Auto Ins co, would not pay for that, my ins lady ask me if my head went thou any thing
I said not that I know, she ask me if there was any glass broken, well no
so she said if my head did not go thou anything, then I did not have TMJ
and they would and did not pay for that, she said I did not have TMJ but then why couldn't I open my mouth?
I also was 700 mils from anyone I knew, I was on my way from Mich to NJ
to start a new Nanny Job, only to be hit on my way there, and not knowing anyone, and my SUV was some place in NY, with everything I own in it
it took my Ins Co 10 days to send someone out there to look at it,
you would think I had been a bad client, but the truth is, I never laps and never had a claim never had a ticket, and was with them for 10 years,
and I paid for full cover,
there is a lot more to this, but to much to go in to, like my EX hubby is an Ins guy also, they called him, to find out about my pass, and he lied, and told them things, that I knew was coming from him, I have not seen or and the last time I talk with that man, was back in 1999,
and this was before I ever sign anything to give them the right to talk with anyone about me, so I feel HIPPA laws have been brake here,

so now I am going back to the same IME Dr, and I am sure he is not going to say, that there is something wrong with me, after he lied about it the 1st time last year, but then again, why are they sending me back to the same one, ?? kind of odd if you ask me,

well are you as mix up as I am yet?

thank you for taking the time to read this and for all your help,
Peace
Kelly
