Thanks Finz I take my meds at night. About 20min before bed. Before i started them i was averaging 2hrs sleep a night. The night before i started taking them i didnt seep at all and the next morning it hit me hard. I thought i was going to collapse i was just so tired. Im sleeping really well now. I thought it was just the pain keeping me awake, but ive been reading about the insomnia that comes with RSD. Plus i still had it after my burns. When i was in the Burns Unit I didnt sleep much and it set a pattern. Esp when i came off of the pain killers i was on. Im loving having sleep. Im starting to hae energy now. Yay!!!

One thing that im really grateful of here is the support we get here in Australia. I dont have insurence, but i am able to get assistance from centrelink, which is our welfare system. Its about $500 a fortnight for me. Living with my parents makes this not to bad to live on, i cant imagine paying rent as well with this. I used all my savings when i had my burns. I do hate being on this system though and having to answer to the Gov to keep money comming in. We do have a good medical system here so most medical bills are payed through that. My stay in the burns unit (one of the best in the world), and further treatment for my burns were covered. Plus now im only paying a small gap for doctors bills, I get meds that are covered by the PBS (pharmaceuticals Benifit system) at a cheap rate and i get my first 6 Physio appointments for free. I only have to pay for traveling because i live in a rural area with little resources. Im just lucky to hae a new GP here that understands my problems and i dnt have to travel for that. I think this probably is playing a big part in my mental state because i dont have these pressures. Im really sorry that you do. I know we pay greater tax here, but when you reap the benifits you really appreciate it. Especially after reading some of the stories on here. I really admire your attitude considering the pressures you have. Im not sure i would be so positive in your situation. But i guess we all have our difficulties.

I will give a sling a go. I decided not to run incase it makes my foot worse, but i went for a walk today and it was ok. So i figure ill do that for now. However the dog dosnt like the shorter and slower pace. lol. But because of this she does get a swim each day so she will love that. If i wear my pressure garments on my arm i should be fine with the sling. Thanks heaps for that.
