Today's a bad day for me, unfortunately. I woke up in a great amount of pain, and still terribly groggy from my Lyrica. I'm finding the side effects of Lyrica to be almost unbearable, but I keep taking it in hopes of finding a better life through less pain. I've been looking for a support group for a long time, not quite as long as I've been trying to find an act...

May 20th I was hit by a car as I was crossing a street they ran a stop sign and never stopped even after I was hit. I now face many months of pt and this sent my rsd it to a tail spin.1 Recommendation

Gosh my heart is really sad right now. I try real hard not to let the depression show its ugly head but right now I just cant fight it. I should have never told my daughter to call her brother in NY. It always hurts so much after hearing his voice and knowing I cant see him. I love my boys so much and thanks to my ass ex husband I cant have them in my life. I should have f...1 Recommendation5 Comments

I am hurting so bad today. I just cant stand it anymore. I woke this morning after a very restless night and was in such bad pain that I had a panic attack. I never used to have them but now I am so afraid when the pain grips me that I cant stand it. I just toss and turn in shear agony. No meds work. I really am just really getting tired of this. I know I cant give up but I sometimes wish for an ...1 Recommendation2 Comments

Today is difficult the pain level is through the roof but a friend told me about this site and at least now I may not feel all alone. I did not know rsd could spread as quickly as it does and how little is known about it progression as well as its prognosis. I feel as though i have become a human guinea pig poked and prodded beyond recognition. Family has been great but we are all overwelmed at t...1 Recommendation1 Comment

Oh geez!! I had my first real thearapy session today and GOOD LORD!!! They made me ride an excersize bike. I thought I was gonna pass out.

I am having a very painful day, I went out yesterday and within walking less than 60 steps I had to stop because the pain in my knee was really bad, my back is also killing me from having my 3rd op for the spinal stimulator. Oh what did I do to deserve this?1 Recommendation

I saw this article and wanted to share it. I saw myself lying on the floor with the windows open. I only let in enough light to prove to myself I am not hiding in the darkened room. I fool some, I go out occasionally and pretend I am someone I am not, and for what? I wonder where my spirit has gone, the motivation to live is diminishing so fast. The pain is winning, the diseases are taking over a...1 Recommendation
