Thank you MrsD

i cant fit in a catscan right now...Im too big and heavy.. they did an ultra sound and didnt see anything. When i have had cat scans in the past none of the lymph nodes were blocked. the best way i can explain it is that from the incisions i have had on my abdomen, my body thinks there is an infection and keeps reacting sending white blood cells to fix it but theres nothing to ix. its like my nerves that got cut are on full alert...like something is happening.

im scared...that one day it will crush me, i have to use both arms and hands to lift my abdomen to move or roll over. its pitted edema..i can press my entire hand deep to leave an imprint ...its not good. i keep looking for help. the other day it was hurting terrible and i put a heating pad on it...now i dont have feeling on the outside skin on some places on my stomach from the gallbladder surgery...the heating pad made a big blister on me and it popped and scabbed over...never happened before, so now i have to be very careful that i dnt get an infection. Im SO tired of dealing with this as many of us RSD people are. all i can do is live in the moment and get through this day in hopes that there will be more answers tomorrow. Someone some where must be doing more research on this!
sigh...
Thank you for listening and thinking bout me, you are very very kind!
