You can find humor in the worst situations. Love ya!

LOL too true..

at least you haven't had the car adventure humour today. There's more. Imagine - me (totally unable to move), 4 men, 1 small car, 1 wheelchair, no carer, beach and a crowd. How much trouble could that create?

do you want to come in to chat? I am miserable though at the moment so..

love ya honey and hope things are improving for you - I didn't PM - I emailed. oops!

Yes, yes, Vanessa, ticks = bleeughhhh, blech blech...specially when they're the size and colour of a small red grape..yuckeramaville - I once had to pull one out of my chest myself (screaming the house down as I did it, with tweezers...).

Forgot to put in this link to a previous thread on the "pain rash":

And Frogga, when I took my "fatal" RSD tumble I "chose", in a microsecond, not to fall on my dog (we were running at top speed in a typhoon on slimy greenery). Fell across a concrete step, breaking my arm, wrist, hand bones and ribs. How stoooopid can u get - the dog would have been sooooo soft .

She just looked at me yelling and toddled off home, the little traitor, so much for Greyfriar's Bobby...though later I realised she was just very scared...

love you gells, all the best

Please feel free to cry, i do it more than i should. But it is a release,
that are bodies need. Bless your heart you are in a place of many tears.
And aren't we lucky to have each other. And much luck in finding
better help...Sue PNer

I never used to cry!! Maybe at some movie, but not a real cry. well, when I came down with this beast, I cry, cry and cry! And yes, Sue.. you are so very right on.. we need this release or we would all be mad.. "mad... I tell you"! LOL Love, Desi

Hi Sweetie, I cryed yesterday, I feel better today. I will pray for you, you pray for me. There's nothing wrong with reaching out to others.

IHH, I hope you are feeling better by now... but I know that these attacks can last what seems like forever, too. Keep your chin up!

What is it about the end of a school year, anyway? Both you and Frogga are having a hard time right now, it really sucks.

I agree totally that night time is the worst. Being in such horrible pain with nothing to distract you is awful. For some reason, the t.v. and the puter just don't help much at 3 a.m.... it's talking to an actual person that we crave at that time of night. That's why I got the cats, though, lol. They don't mind being up with me all night! Yes, my cats count as actual people, go ahead and laugh, lol.

Hi ya Rogue! I just had to laugh at what you said about your cats!! Yes, they are "real people" well, actually my oldest cat Frisky thinks he is a dog, even walks me to the door when someone knocks! LOL he loves car rides too.. talk about weird.tee-heee I actually talk to my cat Frisky about what I feel, when I cry, he licks me, purrs. At least they don't judge me. Now, my other cat Tweeks split! I mean he actually went to live at the neighbors house!! He comes by only when we are having a cook out! too funny! take care! Love, Desi (Still ROFL)

Vanessa,
So sorry to hear what happened to you. I'm new to this board and don't know much about the people here. I didn't realize you were so young. It makes me especially sad that you young people have to deal with this. My RSD started with a thumb injury, also.
I hope & pray that you will get better. (I know that sounds kinda superficial with what we know about RSD but sometimes I just want to be optomistic.)

Thanks to everyone for the support!!

That is interesting that your RSD also started with a thumb injury. Everyone looks at me like I am crazy when I say that...

It is especially hard when you are young, yes. Because you have the rest of your life ahead of you and you are constantly thinking "is this the rest of my life?!".

Thanks for the comfort and hugs- you are so sweet, thanks! Everything seems to be getting worse, and all I can do is cry and "hang in there", hoping that the doctor does some miracle on me.

I hope your day is going well.
