About Me
Hi, my name is Reila. I'm 40-something married to Ben. The main problems I deal with are RSD/CRPS and fibromyalgia. I try to keep a good attitude -- most of the time I succeed.
Interests
Reading, learning, internet, sudoku, movies, shopping. I used to have more, but I'm unable to do like I use to.

Close Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy
Diagnosed with RSD/CRPS1 October '07, 2 months after my 2nd tarsal tunnel release surgery. Started seeing Pain Doctor 11/07, confirmed CRPS 1, and recommend nerve blocks. They didn't help and made the RSD spread. Next he recommended an epidural which also did not help and was very painful. This is where I am now and his next and final recommendation is a spinal stimulator, which I do not want. Wondering what to do next...
