Living with RSD/CRPS

I went to Philadelphia last week to continue doing the prescreening for the Low Dose Ketamine Infusion that I am planning to do to help me achieve much lower pain, at the least, and remission at best. The highly coveted remission! Flying was hard as we had to be at the airport there and back soooo early and I cannot sit for long periods of time without making my pain so much worse. One of the Doctors at Drexel College of Medicine told me that he so far saw no reason that I wouldn't be able to do it. Thank god!!!

Maybe it's that 50/50 gives us a fair shot either way. Now there is nothing fair about RSD......there just isn't. Well, I guess nothing that I have found as of yet. So it concerns me that after all of my losses, the biggest thing that I could lose is still on the table. My wonderful husband and our marriage. He breaks his back everyday so that we can live where we live, drive what we drive and pay for all RSD expenses and that is prett...
