I went out for dinner today and the cold air was a killer. I have a 4 inch plate in my left wrist and it got cold and transferred it to my bones and the pain was intense. The cold seems to bother me more this year and the winter isn't even here yet. I'm really in for it this year. I agree with KathyD about the middle of the dessert is starting to sound good.
The RSD has spread to my left lower leg and foot and walking with my cane was a chore. Looks like until my motorized wheelchair arrives I'll be staying in...:(:(:(

Sorry you had a difficult time...I hope you get the wheelchair soon. Darn cold weather!

That island in the South Pacific sounds really nice right about now...

Hey Jimbo,
I was hoping you had gotten my question as to who your neurologist is here in WNC. My daughter is suffering so much that I really need all teh help I can get.
Thanks!

Dr. Aneeta Gupta of Park Ridge Hosp. is a neurologist very knowledgeable with RSD...

Kidding aside, property in Scottsdale is CHEAP right now. There are other spots as well. Having you and the wife considered becoming snowbirds? Think of all the jalapeņos you could eat in AZ!

Jimbo--this snowbird question!

I woke up today and asked my wife if it was going to rain. I told her my arm/hand was burning terrible and that sometimes is a forecaster of rain.
Sure enough it started raining about 3:00 this afternoon and it's still raining.
RSD has spread to my left foot and now today is up to my knee.
I went out for dinner to take my mind off of the pain. Couldn't walk on my left foot and the pain was getting worse even tho I took my afternoon Lyrica dose.
My wife gave me some aspirin with no affect.
To make things worse my balance is getting worse too.
Going to contact my neurologist and let her know hoping I'll find some sort of relief.
I just needed to vent a little... :Soapbox:

I lived in Yuma AZ (7 miles north of the border in SW corner of AZ) and the "snowbird" traffic was horrible in the winter there. There was always major RV accidents everywhere and the traffic was a mess. Yeah the winters were amazing there...but the large amount of people that descended on Yuma for the winter sometimes made me love the summer when it was 110...because no one would be around lol. I guess you have to take the good with the bad and forget about the ugly:.)
