New Diagnosis
Hi,
I am feeling really overwhelmed right now. I just got back from my family Dr.. I brought up to him the problems that I have been having with my hands swelling, my arms turning red etc. It has now moved into my face and eyes etc. He has confirmed for me that this is indeed RSD. He says there is nothing we can do for it other than what we are already doing for the TOS. He said that any nedications he would put me on I am already on. His words were, "you and I both know you are in pain, but I am doing all I can for you, so I think it is time to suck it up."
Then we went on to talk of the joint pain I am having in my knees and hips. He believes I have Lupus, and sent me for blood tests for it. He says even if the blood tests come back normal he will send me to a rhuematologist.
I thought the TOS was bad enough, but now RSD and lupus? I just want to lay my head down and cry.
