Help Dear Rae;

Likewise, Dr. Tennant's approach is analogized as a patchwork quilt. (I'm extrapolating a bit here). Lots of good advice/strategy in that book. I find myself reviewing it often when things get bad or change. YMMV.

Doc



Rae...

It's always my pleasure to help you..I hope I can shed some light on your dismay.. I have to wonder also that your pain is in combination of your unit and spread of your RSD as I think the implanation of the unit can promote spread, mine I believe did!!

Nice to visit with you and I am sorry I have been quiet lately..Iam getting there.. thanks for your wonderfully kind words!! They help... and remember, anything I help with please, say..I gotz your back..

Hugz, Kathy

Default Much MUCH Appreciated!

Thank you Doc, for the links!
I tell ya, I get so sick of sifting thru nonsense online.....so I really appreciate when someone lands on a link that targets a specific helpful issue.

I will check it out now! And, I'll probably order the book! I actually DO enjoy researching the 'old fashioned' way.......BOOKS.....aka 'Paper Blogs'

Kathy,
yeahhhhhhh as much as I DON'T want to admit, I think I might have to get out of denial mode and realize that we are indeed talking RSD spread.
I looked at my journal and flipped it to the page on New year's Day and I wrote "Happy @#$ New Year!.....it feels like the burning is trying to inch it's way up my torso!".......

Guess I'll be seein ya over on RSD Forum Kathy.....you have been like the backbone of that forum.....always there for everyone.
I know you've had a rough year and the sadness you've endured.

Man, I just can't believe this!

Exclamation NO

Not RSD spread, that is not a good thing at all........ No. I can't accept that one yet. Nope.
Concerned lots,
Mark

Amen to that. I've reached an understanding with all my doctors. At first, they don't want to see/hear anything gleaned from.... "THE INTERNET". I get that. So I'm very particular about the source(s) of anything I bring them (they've even scoffed at material from Mayo, FCOL). They do tend to accept NIH, Medline, and a few others, and they'll take a look at what I bring them if I have enough credible corroborating data. Talk about a tough room!

Doc
