And can I tell you that I poured myself over my computer yesterday..setting up a spanking (I am so dang proud..) "Savvy Chronic Pain Patient Journal" as we were instructed on our posts... Dang..I have all the right dates and everything for Dr. S... but when I mentioned I was ready to fax it to Drexel... the nice woman I spoke to said oh we don't want it to be too far back information..only since diagnosised with my RSD....it's okay..better too much than not enough I say! But must admit it took my sails down a bit.. but it's okay....
Thank you for listening to me...Kathy

Dear KS, you are going to be fine. Maybe a bit nervous but you are already doing that. Refresh me if you will, is this appointment for Ketamine? When are you going? I hate meeting docs for the first time, my history is rediculous and I am always a ball of nerves. I think what you are feeling is totally normal. Did you ever try the morphine?
I dunno, this disease is crazy, so many little things that are so aggravating, but you are absolutely right, this disease is not a disease for the weak. And when we do get weak, it is through that weakness we gain our strength. I will keep you in my prayers as always. You might be an office visit away from a cure or some relief, that is worth a little anxiety to say the least. We are worth fighting for. We do deserve some comfort, compassion and a level of dignity in our life. The disease is bad, the pain is bad, but we are not. I do alot of meditation for pain and anxiety it has really helped me out alot. But the other day, I was so twisted up with fear, that none of my coping skills were working. But, I made it through, thanks to all of you wonderful people. God Bless You. Keep moving forward, you are almost there.
