About Me
Currently separated for about five years. Finally filed my divorce papers. I have Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis. I was diagnosed with RSD/CRPS along with foot drop. It drives me crazy. I've had 19 surgeries. There is pain everday and I pray for healing. I am a Christian woman and am struggling and overwhelmed right now in my life.

Hi Carol this is amazing because I was thinking of you several days ago. I was thinking I am being a rotten friend because I have failed to write to you and check in on you. I am so happy that your divorce was granted you deserve to concentrate on taking good care of yourself and being happy. I have been doing much better I was put on stronger meds but the only problem is that I am still still in the morning and during the day especially if i lie still for a long time. flexril and motrin seems to help with this somewhat. I am still on the neurotin which help with the nerve pain and i taking hydrocodone. I am scheduled for a nerve block march 25th and i was excited about this until I heard from other members that it can make pain worse and in some cases hasn't been helpful. Do you have any advice or recommendations on nerve blocks? I look forward to hearing from you soon lets keep in touch Sincerely, Tammy

Prayer
I pray that your court date goes well and the judge rules in your favor. Although it may not seem like it now this is another struggle that you must endure and 20yrs from now you will look back on this and feel at peace. I haven't been able to keep in touch with you due to crps in my right and left arm but i will keep you in my prayers.. Tammy

please take something to help your pain, and rest.

Thanks. I hope you feel better too, because it sure does suck to be in pain and feel like you have no life. I recently spent 3 weeks at a pediatric pain rehabilitation program for teens with RSD. It was intensive (5 hours) physical therapy and occupational therapy each day. My leg still hurts but my arm is much better, and I can do everything I used to be able to do even with my painful leg. I find it very hard to get up in the morning knowing that I'm supposed to exercise even now that I'm out of there, but it's supposed to help a lot so I do it even when it hurts and when I don't want to. Unfortunately I have other things going on in my life too, but those will get better also (...eventually...) -Adie
