I've lost 5 pounds!
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.


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 ... . Hopefully Winter is your down time anyway, and you'll feel better in time for Spring.

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!!!

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

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!

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

Aw Cheryl,

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

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

Cheryl,

I am so sorry to hear that you have been diagnosed with CRPS! 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!
