FG - This is awesome news! I am glad to hear the block helped and that you were finally able to get a good nights rest. I hope this trend continues for you.:hug:


Sandy - Just for the sake of the bras. Check out this thread that Snoozie started in the Women's Forum. These are so cool.

Glad to hear you finally have some relief!!

I guess you haven't been able to work too much either, with all this going on ... :eek:. Hopefully Winter is your down time anyway, and you'll feel better in time for Spring. :hug:

Cherie

I saw the doc today for a followup and he is going to do another nerve block Friday. I guess they do them in a series - guess I am going to have to go to the RSD forum and ask some questions!!!

I told him I don't care how many he does as long as it helps!! I have had 2 nights of sleep. Without percocet! I think I may be getting my life back!

Well, sort of. Still can't move my arm very far, but it is relatively pain free. That's what I can live with right now.

Still have a lot (LOT) of other things on my plate so a huge decrease in pain is good!!!

Shappy - when you are right handed, eating is difficult. So the lose of weight is no big surprise!!! :p

Whatever it takes, sweet pea....er potato..:hug:

Glad you have a treatment that helps Cheryl. :hug: Ya know, pizza is pretty easy to eat left-handed. Same with salty margaritas. ;) :) We need to fatten you up girlie. :hug:

I have officially been dx'd with CRPS along with MS now. Now I have TWO incurable diseases.

I think Salty Margaritas are definitely in order....but I think I might have Jack Daniels on the rocks. If that's ok with my salty buds! :hug:

I am no longer baffled by pain...I have an answer. :(

CRPS....CARP! :(


Pain mgt. better work!

Shaps....I wonder if I can get Jack Daniels in FG's mints?

Now FG....I had to learn to do a lot of things with my left hand.

Eat, comb my hair.... what? You aren't buying into that? Cause you have seen my hair and you don't think I comb it. Thanks!

Well, you need to eat. So start eating. No more lose the weigh stuff.

And :hug:

Sheese FG!!!! :hug::hug::hug::hug:

Aw Cheryl, :(

I don't know anything about CRPS but I'm sure sorry you have it. :hug: :hug:

Seriously though, you need to eat. Going hungry isn't going to help anything. Do we need to have pizzas delivered anonymously? :hug:

Cheryl,

I am so sorry to hear that you have been diagnosed with CRPS:hug:! I wish there was something I could do to try and take your pain away but there isn't unfortunately - just know that I am here for you and that I DO understand what the pain is like and how severe it can be!!

I wish you the best of luck with your nerve block today and really hope you get some more pain-relief!! Thinking about you!
