RSD Where Are Its Limits
For those of you who remember me. Heres a bit of an update.
RSD Where is your limit? Sadly i am finding it has none. If it is not enough it has control of my eyes, nerves around my heart, chest wall, hands, knees, and left foot, as well as the main nerve in the stomach my rsd has now decided to claim my digestive system as its own. The starting of this kicks off my 8th occurrence/continuation of my RSD. I am only 18 and started with this when i was 13. This Disease is outta control and destroying me. And i still dont get to see Swartzman till the 10th of September. I will be lucky if i am even alive by then. As its made it i have no fat left at all and this is no joke, its eaten away most of my muscle and i survive by going into the hospital and being pumped up full off all differnt fluids to stabilize me and then leave and than return again. All the doctors i have seen about RSD assure me there has never been a reported case of anyone dying from RSD and assure me its not possible to. Well i think its pure BS!!! RSD is your puppeteer and you are its puppet there is no question to that. It will keep you just barely alive just to torture you. And anytime it wants it can pull your plug. And so onward i go, i am not giving up but sadly there comes a point where you have no choice in the matter. |
you might find this interesting. It was not RSD, but sometimes doctors don't know everything. You know yourself better then anyone.

First and foremost I am so sorry for your suffereing- it is so severe. And yes, I do have a freind that has RSD full body too(as I do)and has the severity of problems that you do.
I am glad you are getting closer to your date with dr. S- he is my doctor. You will probably never meet another physican with so much compassion. He is very kind. He can look at your instantly and see your pain, the source, understand it and begin to try to help you. He is a very talented neurologist, spent alot of his career teaching others. So your heading in the right directlion for help. Do you have alot of burning , alloydina? Or have you passed that stage? The ketamine infusions help a great deal with that part of RSD. Keep us posted. Hoping the best for you, try not to despair- I know you are suffereing. Sincerely, CZ |
Of course, I remember you LordWood! that clip was so very disturbing and needs to get out to many, many, about this horrid disease! I am so very sorry to hear about you with this damn disease getting out of control with you!! I have never heard of RSD so sever as that poor woman who passed away and also about yours being in such a horrid stage as it's in now. The suffering you have now, must be awful. Im glad that your going in to see Dr. Swartzman. He will get you on the right track. Until then, many prayers being said for you and I do hope you know, we all care about you. Much Love~Desi

I'm sorry to hear about everything that you are going through right now ((pain free hugs)), I really hope you are feeling better. I don't understand what you are going through. I have never seen Dr Schwartzman as I am from the UK but from what I have heard and read he is a very compasionate and caring doctor so I am sure he will get you on the right track.
I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers and I wish you the very best.. Please keep us all updated when you can Alison |
Hang in there! I am scheduled to see Dr. Swartman in 10/08. However, he is very far away. I am not sure whether or not i want to fly there from the west coast since i have profound limited sitting abiilty.
Best wishes to you and i will remember you in my prayers. Numb |
