- I'm not sure if this is related to my meds or not but here goes: A few times a year I need to use an anti-nausea drug called Phenergan for kidney stones, sinusitis, nausea from viruses, etc. It is an antihistamine and works well. But I'm wondering...
- Hi- I haven't been around b/c I was on my annual trip to NYC. I arrived a week ago, saw some great shows, then they closed it down Sunday in anticipation of the Hurricane. (WAY too early as we weren't hit until Monday, mid-day.) My BF and I were...
- So maybe you read a recent post where I, a patient of RSD for 16 years, was diagnosed with ongoing bursitis and a pinched nerve. My back is a MESS. My doc said Phys Therapy and a breast reduction would help a lot. Problem is, I had one back when I...
- Well, it's October, and that means my DH leaves for his annual convention. I used to go to every one, especially as they're in Vegas, but for the past 3 years I've stayed home. Our son is 3 and Vegas is NOT the place for kids. (Especially with...
- I've been having terrible pain from what I was sure was a pinched nerve, and shoulder pain I didn't understand. So as I was also suffering sinusitis and needed a flu shot (the only needle I'll allow as I'm terrified of them) I made an appt. with my...
- I was up all night writing. I tend to hunch forward and it usually gives me sore shoulders, but I've never had any other problems. Today I woke up with a weird sharp pain in my shoulder, along my shoulder blade. It goes down my left arm when I push...
- I haven't had the time to sit and write this out, but I had a great appt this week. Sometimes getting a pat on the back makes me realize how long it has been since I've been complimented. Everyone needs a pat on the back now and then! It also made...
- Yes, she is at it again. And as an RSD patient, I WANT to believe her. There are reasons I don't believe her, and reasons I do. Some of what she says could come from a textbook. The RSD info was pretty textbook. The Dr.Oz info was confusing. He...
- In the tub this morning as I mulled over the 2 hours' sleep I got, I made a decision. Today will be Pajama Day. I will play with my son, read, sleep, and do things I WANT to do, not HAVE to do. We get so few days when we can just be lazy, especially...
- I'm awake, having a hard night and I was trying to remember back to when I didn't have CP. It's been over 15 years since the 2nd bout of RSD which has stayed with me (an earlier case actually went into remission for a few years) and before that I...
- I went to my CP doc on Tuesday and as there are people way worse off than I am, I never park in handicapped. But I DO at the pharmacy b/c otherwise it is a LONG walk and it was 102 degrees on Tuesday. So I park and NO placard! I went back to my dr's...
- Just when I thought it was safe to turn on the tv again! That lady who did "Oxycontin Express" is now on another documentary on Current channel. This one is called "gateway to Heroin" and is more annoying than the 1st one. A guy breaks his back...
- Hi-I've had an ongoing sinus infection for about 12 weeks. I finally went in to the doctor and he prescribed an antibiotic a few weeks ago. He said that IF it didn't work I should call and he would make sure I was given something else. This is my...
- I didn't think my pain affected my personality much. Pain is what I HAVE, not who I am. But today as I sat down in the hotel are, a man just flat out said to me, "You're very pretty!" I did a doubletake. I wanted to say, "Who? ME?" and run. I...
- Luckily, my RSD is pretty much under control at the moment, though it isn't liking the weather changes. Neither, it turns out, did my sinuses. So I bit the bullet and went to see my Family Doc. Now, I see him once a year for Insurance exams, and...
