Keeping it short ...
Diagnosed February 2008 with RSD/CRPS Type ii Stage 3 from my lower back to my toes (both sides) as a result of a fall in November 2004. It has progressed to me barely walking. I use a chair for anything beyond a few feet. Some symptoms include spasticity, Dystonia, week left side, eye pain I call eyegraines (my Doc calls migraines), bladder disfunction requiring regular catheterization, as well as other typical RSDCRPS symptoms. Have many heavy medications, as well as a baclofen pump in my belly that feeds a constant drip into my spine. Shouldn't, but do seek pity occasionally. I know; I am working on that.

Am a young Grandmother of 2 with one more on its way in January. Beauties and blessings each one.

Retired on Disability from the National Park Service in 2010. Loved that job. It took me many beautiful places and introduced me to numerous interesting and dedicated people.

Was a novice but chronic traveler, hiker and biker prior to 2008.
