Last night I was up until after 4AM (I know lots of us are) but it is kind of unusual for me. My RSD is allowed for my left arm only despite having to have bone grafts taken from both hips to put the arm back together and later fuse it. Today it has been over 90 degrees here and I am wrapped in an quilt with the heating pad on high to try to get it to feel warm. My leg is not swollen any more than usual and sweats like it feels they 90 degrees, but remains cold to the touch. I am about at my wits end here. I told the heart doc about this and he said to continue to take the med and that sometimes that this is just a side effect. After a month, I would hope to be over the side effects.
I really need to pull back on the pain meds as my college starts in a week. I did go off of the Avinza, and discovered that it was not helping much at all.
Please, please send some help my way. My stress level is way high right now with another WC hearing scheduled on the 15th and with school starting ( major memory issues) along with family issues.  |

Lisa, please, first understand, that I'm NOT disagreeing with Loretta.
Please, get what you can from all of us?
Of course, this is a terrible disease. We all know this. Our doctors, are Always under suspicion. (I thank the Good Lord, that I've been with my team for more than 20 Years!). Although I'm asked to find a 'new family doc, that they might work with".....
Anyway,
I can rattle off all sorts of really sick, Dx's, and sich, but, I won't. Because why? Because Ya'll know them!
And, I won't waste your time. I feel everything, that ya'll do!
So, I won't.
Any good, RSD Neuro, knows our story. (Am I Wrong?) nope.
So, While I cannot send you a 'True' painkiller.
I can only tell you what I go through after 27 years of this Pain in the ***.
I had a wonderful weekend, this one past. Two days, one each, with a new (old) friend, then the next, with a not so 'old' friend.
Saturday, I got up, (and REALLY PUSHED MYSELF to) go out, given a ride, with my old childhood friend, to eat some blue tip crabs! couple beers too! Yee haa!
Came back to my stupid, hated apartment, because my wife stole my home from me, and we watched a movie. Cool. Right?
Sunday,
another great friend, came by, we went out to buy some lite groceries, and came back to watch another movie.
GREAT!
How much more could I ask for?
You don't know!
I used to own TWO business's.
When I could entertain my clientele, and I actually got to Play guitar and sing for them!
Along with an entire Band!
Yes, those were the days!
I cannot sit and cry about those days any longer, I did that.......
But, I WILL FIGHT for ta get that all back!
My lawyers all F'd UP!
I had 5 mil, in personal/business insurance, in other words, 5 mil, that covered me, and several more, that covered my loses.
A Lawyer stole my 42 Acre Property/business, while he let my wife steal my P&H business, in Philly!
Think I'm gonna let this rest?
Nah.
I'm now stuck in a Legal Malpractice, or as they like to call it, 'Professional Malpractice' type of crime.
Dammit, so many of these attorney's are afraid of the other's diploma's!!!!
I CAN'T STAND IT!
I wish you all the best!
Please, keep in touch with me?
We seem to be going through the same thing together!
And, it's the worst!!
We need to support one another!
All my love!
Pete
