So sorry

Have you been checked out for rheumatoid arthrtis? My twin has that, and I went through a battery of bloodwork and other tests with a rheumatologist to rule out RA or anything RA related before my RSD diagnosis was finalized. I'm just mentioning it because when you talk about your hands I think of Suzy. Her hands are where she suffered the most with her RA when it first started.

The very best of luck to you and your husband. Please take care of yourself. Sandy

I will be seeing my doctor soon to see where she sends me next. So painful, but the steroids do help. I eased off of the and WOW, forgot how much pain my hands caused, disproportionate to anything I did.
Look forward to getting to know you all. I am a licensed artist/designer and musician. Can't play any of my guitars now.
Any and all responses are so very welcome. My husband is in hospice in our home. He was a Firefighter and is dieing of Chronic Rejection of a transplanted lung.
Love,
Pam
