Default newbie to the forum

[FONT="Comic Sans MS"][/FONT
Hello,
I am new to the forum and am so happy that I have found it. I was diagnosed with RSD/CRPS a year ago after having a staph infection in my lower left leg. It is now spreading and I have been to doctor to doctor trying to get them to listen to me. I finally found a good pain management dr. and he doesn't take my insurance. There are very few doctors in my area that will honestly diagnose and treat this disorder. I don't know what to do.

I also was born with Cerebral Palsy that has effected both of my legs, so now I have a double whammy with the RSD. I just need someone who will listen and a place to sound off when I get down, because as a lot of sufferers know you can't always get the support of their families.

My family is suffering because I used to have 2 jobs and now I can barely take care of my house. My husband tries really hard to make it easier on me, but he misses the way I was before. He continues to be wonderful, but I would like to make friends on here who understand why I don't want certain material on my leg and arms, and why some days are good and some days are really bad.

Thanks for listening.
