hey yall,
On Aug 30th, that will mark 1 year for me and RSD. I have had 4 nerve blocks and 2 epidurals....and to many quacks to mention. I am hoping for a real DR soon. I do not know why they keep trying to do nerve blocks on me, i have read that they usually do not work after the first 3 months. I was on Lyrica 450 mgs a day.....recently i went to website and read about it, seems i had at least 6 or more of the severe side effects...seek medical attention now side effects. I called the DR the next day....and was told to stop taking it, but not called in any earlier, or given anything else to take.........and lyrica was my main nerve pain pill. Im in burning pain constantly and cant hardly do anything...my heel still wont go down, and i go to p.t. 2 times a week. Hugzzzzzzzz to all CAT |

Hi Kitcat, welcome to NT! Here is a link to the rsd/crps forum: http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/forumdisplay.php?f=21 I'll see you there... I have had crps type II for 14 years. You're going to be soooo glad you found NT... it's just full of kind caring people. You'll find all the emotional support a person in our shoes needs. And of course, you'll learn more about rsd/crps in here than you ever thought possible. The more you know, the more effective you can be when talking to your dr.s. It puts the power squarely back in your hands, where it ought to be.

Hey, I just found this site. I've had CRPS for the past 5 years and it has been hell. (I'm not one to pretend I feel ok) I'm a former airline pilot and have not flown since my diagnosis in 2002. The feds yanked my medical which effectively grounds me and have been on disability since 2005. My CRPS started after I took a real bad fall while mountain biking in Moab, UT. (After getting laid off from the 9-11 attacks, I had a lot of time on my hands while waiting to get re-called.) They almost amputated my arm, but after much pleading on my part they decided to try and save it. They did, but at a hefty price. So here I am just wondering what other people with this terrible disease are doing with thier lifes. I have jumped back into school to try and retrain myself in something other than aviation.
I hope to hear from others. It's great to find a web site like this!! |
