I'm glad you survived the horror of the emg! LOL

I'm very happy you're finally getting some pain relief. I went to my drug discount card to look up the price on abilify. Dang that is expensive!! It's like triple the price of lyrica. I wish I could afford it to see if it would work for me too. It's over $400 for 30 pills. It was only $60 for lyrica for a month. Ah well, in a few years the patent will run out and it'll go generic. Well, that is unless they find another "use" for it like they did with lyrica and fibro. *sigh*

Yea for a muscle relaxer that doesn't make you want to sleep! LOL That's always a good thing.

OMG......really???? I had no idea it was so expensive!!! My husband gets all my meds and we do still have insurance. One of the reasons he gave it to me was because it was older and LESS expensive than some of the newer antidepressants. Oh well.....I am happy it is helping. I still get all of the same typical RSD pains (shocks, lightening, cramps, jabbing, ant bites, stinging, etc.....) but NOT as often and I can handle them as they seem less intense than they were. Getting plenty of sleep at night (but no naps) seems to be helping too. The bottoms of my feet still hurt when I'm on them for too long (ie, an hour) but it is all SUCH an improvement from where I was a month ago........I almost feel "normal" in comparison!!!! You can't put a price on that, you know???

Thanks for responding to all!!! I love you guys and have missed you!!!

I must say......I totally agree. I have been diagnosed by 5 docs now with RSD. Why this one felt the need to shock me and stick me is beyond me......especially if the results aren't accurate. I failed (or passed.....however you want to look at it) in that it showed the nerve damage and subsequent weakness, but I guess it doesn't prove RSD. Are my purple, swollen, veins, burning, mottled feet and legs and hands not enough for them???? Oh well......it is over and I survived (what doesn't kill us......). I've missed you, Ada.......been meaning to write you!!! I hope you're ok!!! Talk soon!!

Ya sure can't!! The little improvements no matter what they are truly are priceless. Those little things we felt and couldn't do, to feeling less and doing are like a bit of heaven on earth. :-D

Hugs,

Karen
