Weather changed, what a pain?
 

Our weather has actually warmed up but the wind blew yesterday. On days like this I am worse off.

I was hurting in bed so bad last night, I couldn't move. Even my butt hurt. LOL. I never had felt pain there before. My thighs and legs hurt, my feet.

I just don't get why weather change can make such a difference, even when it's changing for the better.

Hi Ada,
Here in MA it seems like the rain has not stopped and now we are getting snow. My body hurts so bad. Even the meds don't work. Places that don't hurt are worse than the RSD limb. I just wish the sun would come out! Hope you feel better.

Hi Marla,
 

i hate those trips to the bathroom too. I have way too many due to the IC and other problems.

I try to figure out what is happening at times if it's the RSD or Fibro messing with my body.

I have trouble straightening out my legs at night due to not being able to get them warm enough so I think that makes a lot of my lower half pain worse.

I have as much pain with the heat as I do the cold. It's in the 70's here today too. I have had to take more meds today then when it is cold.

Now we know what they mean by the saying " pain in the butt". don't we. It's not only our Grandkids and kids that can be. LOL

Hi Marla,
 

I think a spa would be a great ideal for you. Convince your hubby by going somewhere where you can both go a couple of times then maybe he will buy you one.

I am dreading the summer sun at this point. The heat bothers me as much as the cold. Today I am on extra meds and using patches.

I do love summer but not at this point.

Hi Everyone,
The weather here is getting worse by the minute. Today we are getting snow, ice, and then rain, rain, rain, tommorow. The pain will just not let go. I don't think I CAN STAND IT ANYMORE.

Hi Sue,
 

Sorry you are having such a bad day. It's around 50 here today.

Yesterday was very nice and I was in so much pain, I called my PCP and I'm going in tomorrow for TPI's. I just can't stand it either.

Hope you are feeling better soon though.

Ada

Hi Marla,
 

That is exactly the feelings I get in the heat. I feel like I am being stuck with needles all over or like I have electrical zaps going through me.

I cannot handle the heat at all. I just turned on a fan because it is hot here today. I am miserable when it is like this.

I can't stand to get out into the sun. I use to like to lay out but can't do it now.

I really don't know if this is part of the RSD or something else going on. My Dr. has PN in his feet and we talk about this all of the time. My whole body feels like his feet do. Burning pain, zaps, you name it. He opens a window for us when I go in there because he knows I can't handle heat even in the winter months.

Hi Debby,
 

They're calling for 4 to 8 inches of snow here tonight. We have not seen the whole ground around here for at least 2 months. I'm ok with it though, as I said, I can't handle the heat.

I went tonight and got Triggerpoint injections in my chest area and my left hip area. It's been hot today so I have been miserable.

Marla, I am thinking that this thing we are dealing with where we have these problems with the heat is not part of RSD. I think it's something else going on.

Ada

Debby, so sorry about your car. I am sure there are other things you could have used the money for. By the way, are you about to blow away tonight? My wind chimes are going crazy! I'm not sure we are through with winter, I always get nervous when we get these false springs, seems as if we always pay with real bad weather afterwards. Glad you are feeling better! Feels good to just feel good, people have no idea how excited we get when we get a day like that. Enjoy! Marilyn

Ada, sorry you are having such a rough time of it, I hope things improve for you soon. Not too long ago I also had pain in my butt, both hips, both knees, both shoulders. both wrists and hands. Darn arthritis and that stupid sciatic nerve. With a body like this I should qualify for social security as my body felt like it way 120 yrs old.LOL I dealt with it for 6-7 weeks and then it just mostly let up. That was better than winning the lottery. LOL Take Care of yourself I know it is hard. Marilyn

Hi Marla,
 

My visit went great as usual. He's been my Dr. for almost 18 years and he's been my friend for about 10. He gave me my injections in my chest. That's the first time I have needed them in a couple of years. I've been doing too much at the computer so I believe I got my Thoracic Outlet going again. He'll keep giving me shots until we get it calmed down. The pain was in my left shoulder, my neck, and down my left chest area all the way to my breast. He gave me 4 injections. No cortizone though. Then he gave me some in my left thigh area.

We talked after that because he councels me too. I am still having a hard time over Bill and too dealing with two teenage boys. They both have girlfriends now, which is ok. Travis has taught them all he can about what's right and wrong in a relationship but my oldest was having problems with some of his friends and what they do so he's had to quit hanging around so many of them anymore. I think though now he is getting back to his normal self. Also he is 14. My Dr. said he was going through his puberty and had to figure out what was going on there. Like everyone else said on here money has been an issue since losing Bill but hopefully that will improve soon.

As far as what's going on and what makes me think it's something else is because other people I have noticed don't have the problems with the warm weather that I have had. Mine has been going on for about 4 years now. You mentioned MS, I never thought about that. I was diagnosed with MS about 2 years ago. I don't know if that would be a symptom of that or not. With me too, if it's out there I'm going to get it. That's one reason I quit going to Drs. I'd go for one thing and then they'd tell me I had another. I go to the ones that help me with the worst of it and my PCP helps me with all of it so that's enough for me. We deal with whatever is acting up at the time.

I did forget to ask him about that new myalgia he diagnosed me with but I will do that when I see him again.

I hope this don't continue with you, if it does you won't have a good summer. As I told you, I can't stand the heat and if I go out for any length of time, I am popping my Methadone and coming back in.

I have never took the Actonel. I don't know if it could be doing that to you. There are some meds though that you can't get into the sun with.

Country Mom, It is like winning the lottery when one of our pains give up. lol. As far as SS, yes you should be on it. I hope you have put in for it. I fought mine for years and then our State Rep got it for me in a week. You should try for it.

As far as the weather, the snow missed us. I don't know if that's good or bad for me. It's been in the 60's here and that isn't good for me.

I inquired about SS but was told I didn't have my credits in the right time period as I qiut working when I had my son 15 yrs ago except waitressing for a short time when we built our home. When we had the farm I did not treat myself as an employee and therefore did not pay into SS. So I have the 20 credits but in the wrong timeframe therefore I do not qualify. Bummer, huh? I guess someone else gets to use that money I paid into SS, oh well. Sorry about the loss of your husband, I am sure it is tough on you and your sons. I hope your money issues improve soon. Your plate is so full. Hang in there Marilyn
