Well, pain is going back up so much for the relief from the new meds. Nasty pain in left leg, left arm and in the temples of my head! Headaches all the time making it hard to come and talk with everyone on DS. I feel bad because I haven't been on much, and at home I've been hushing everyone and making them turn everything DOWN, because of my darn head! Plus of course I'm irritable and cranky, making everyone around me miserable too. Nah, not that bad but bad enough at times. 

The weather is extremely wet, windy and nasty matching my mood and pain levels right now!

A few days ago I snapped out my wrist, so it is bruised, swollen and hurts badly, making it impossible to get much done right now...

So in general not doing so hot, but spending lots of time in hot water trying to sooth the deep ache in my bones, and sharp nasty feelings of being cut up. However I have to balance with the times the hot water causes the burning feeling to esculate into nasty boiled limbs feelings....seems like there is a reaction for everything I try now days, but I try not to give up and just keep looking for ways to bring the pain back down that don't include break thru drugs in a bottle....I am beginning to hate taking the pain medicine, and desperately would like to find something else that would work as well or even better. I never know if I am feeling worse because of reactions to drugs or rsd or what? and that really fustrates me!
