First Swatgen
I am sorry for your pain. I don't know what to tell you other than keep fighting. I don't have RSD, but my little girls does. And I don't know what I would do if she ever felt the way that you do right now. All I can say is that you have people that LOVE you and care for you and I am sure as I do CRY for you. I want you to hope and pray and know that there is always a light at the end of this tunnel...It may not seem that way, but there is. My heart breaks for you right now. I am praying for you and you should talk to someone to help you though this.
Keep posting here. You can always send us your number and we will call.
Keep your chin up my friend and I will be praying for you.
Love Sandy

I feel like I'm losing this battle and I must admit in my opinion I gave it a good fight.. Was a tom boy growing up and extremely athletic until the nightmare started. I used avoidance and denial for a long time, as I finished my MBA in record time and got my dream job at one of the top 100 public accounting firms in the US. I loved my work but came with long hours and a lot of stress (My specialty was auditing local governments and trust me that job comes with a world of issues to ensure there are no material misstatements....)
As my CRPS worsened I had to go in for numerous treatments (intensive pain programs, nerve blocks, radio frequency injection, and ketamine infusions.) Each treatment came with their empty promises as they provided little results but each treatment took time away from work... Let’s just say once the company I worked for found out my disease was not curable, my career ended 2 months later which was last June.
Having a difficult walking (even with my intensive medication routine) and I don’t see how I will be able to live that I worked so hard for while fighting this unpredictable, un-relentless, piece of s*** disease. I fought so hard and am disappointed that it all was for nothing. =( I guess I feel defeated this time and was wondering how do I pick myself back up this time??????
