Just couldn't take it anymore. My leg started shaking uncontrollably (which hasn't happened this severly since before the diagnosis and treatment for the CRPS). I went to the ER. The nurse was a little rude and I got the sense that she felt like I was there for drugs...but the doc is one I have seen before in the ER and he was very helpful. Didn't give me any of my usual meds...but gave me some stuff to bring down my heart rate/blood pressure which were REALLY high due to the pain and some Norco (which doesn't really help with the pain but at least my headache is gone now). It's certainly better than nothing and should get me through tomorrow for the appt with the pain management doc. I also got a note for work so hopefully I won't have to deal with a major verbal beating from my boss next time I'm in. Who am I kidding...that's EXACTLY what I'm in for...but at least I have a note to cover me from any other kind of retaliation.

Hopefully I'll be able to get a little bit of sleep now that the tremors have stopped.
