The exhaustion and migraines are also an issue for me - how do you treat them? have you found anything that works?

DianeA, Thank you. There have been a lot more major changes like my counselor pointed out on Monday. It would probably be better if that where the only one. But on top opf that last year just before my 20 year wedding anniversay my husband & I had to file for divorce to protect him from all my medical bills & being responsible for me anymore. We needed to protect the house & everything we had worked so hard for. It was worth it but at the same time it was devastasting. It just seems to never end. You just keep finding one more thing you lose again & again thanks to RSD. Thanks for the support.
Hugs, Denny

Denny,
I do understand. It is tough and major, I mean major changes take place in our lives. Here are a few things you have going for you. Number one a counselor. I think that is very important to have someone outside of our loved ones to talk over issues with. Number two..you and your husband are resourseful!! You did what it took to hang on to the assets you currently have. That is major. That was a smart and very practical move. I have confidence after reading your post that you , hubby and counselor will face the trials that may or may not be up and coming. After 20 years of full body CRPS, one learns to live a somewhat different life than most, but none the less, a valued life.
Remember these are just life situations. What is important is the relationships we share with other while on earth. I have met some AMAZING women and men here, we are fortunate that we can share our experiences, fears, concerns, knowledge and compassion with each other. HUGS Di

I'm so sorry. You are a survivor. And you are smart to have a counselor. There is a lot of support here. Wishing you well Sandy

not really i have horrible reactions to most migraine meds the triptons in it make my mouth and throat swell. so basicly all i can do is take my phenergan and zanaflex and try to go to sleep. but i get migraines that can last as long as a week and i have the whole tunnel vision and vomitting .. so its always fun (not!) but there are alot of meds out there for it .. they say that topamax helps with them but it didnt for me ... sorry im not that much help on this subject
