Hi!I had a work injury back in Aug.of 99 that never healed and was later after many,many tests diagnosed as RSD.I was clearing debris out of the creeks in preparation for the flood season.It started in my right leg,then spread to my left leg,then cupla years later spread to my right arm,then my left arm,and now just recently has spread to my face and neck.Yea,I am full body RSD
I have a recharcgeable Spinal Cord Stimulator(SCS)to help with the PAIN......
I have the wires in my back for my legs and have paddle leads in my neck for my arms.I am also currently experiencing dystonia(also known as clubfist)in my right hand.I can not open it or function with it,gets pretty frustrating

In Oct.of 2001,I had my first manic episode which led me being escorted to the hospital by three cops.I was arrrested and placed on a 5150 crisis hold for
72hrs.That was very scary i didn't know what the hell was goin on,OMG!There
at the hospital is where i was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder.I am on a bunch
of meds,see my psycologist once a week,and just recently was implanted with
a Vagus Nerve Stimulator(VNS)for severe depression.I and my Drs' are hoping
that with the VNS I can cut down my meds by at least halfI am pretty much right now,just trying to get through day to day with these ilnesses and
learn as much as I can and help others through my experiences if I can.I look
4ward to getting to know everyone and having everyone get to know me
