Im so sorry for your suffering!

i have abdominal RSD. i had 3 surgeries and i have over 70lbs of swelling on my abdomen. 3 years ago when there was 45lbs of swelling...a plastic surgeon thought it would be a good try to cut it all off so they cut me hip to hip and removed 25lbs of tissue (sorry to be gross) but it nearly killed me, i died and they brought me back. then the swelling grew back with avengence! so now i have 70lbs of swelling. i takr prednisone and imuran to try to control the inflammation. i know they are working bevause when i try to ween myself off them i swell even more. i never had a workmans comp issue so i cant help there. i work from home sitting/laying on my bed and sell office supplies. i had a career in this before i got sick and my boss lets me work from home...
Soft hugs to you too!
