I work fulltime also, I was diagnosed in Nov.2008..from a w/c injury, tripped down the stairs from punching in and fell on my left foot and ankle...now my rsd appears to be spreading to left hip, groin,shoulder, wrist , face and sometimes neck. I work a demo lady at a club warehouse, at least thats my light duty job, dont think I can ever go back to my regular job which was stocking the club at night, lots of walking, heavy lifting and pulling, ect..I hurt all the time..They let me still on an old worn out bars stool that flops around and is very uncomfortable for me as I am very short and my legs dangle, then the burning starts...right now Im out with a flare up , see the doctor on Tues and he will probably send me back to work, he prescribed me yet another steroid pack...every time I flare, I have to go out as it is so painful for me...I wish I could take online courses as a medical biller and work from home so I could work as comfy as I want..oh well, to dream...I cant afford to go out of work for any lenght of time as hubby and I were struggling before this now we are living a nightmare as more needs to go out that we bring home due to the money lost from ttd, and my hours are shorter than 40 , not supposed to be like that but if there is no other work they can find for me, what am I to do? Can you tell I am on a downer? Im so depressed at the moment..I feel like such a loser at this time...Sorry, about time to go and compose myself...God bless everyone and especially everyone that has to work
