Coping & Loss

I had every intention of writing on here each and everyday. Sometimes life throws you a curveball though......And that it has! So my husband that I spoke of in my last post decided that this was all too much for him and that has left me in a tailspin. My world turned completely upside down and I tried to get him to reconsider. We have been together a total of 8 & 1/2 years afterall. It seems that he never understood RSD or decided he couldn't believe me and trust me...... Unimaginable that this could happen.....The worst pain that I have felt has never been from the RSD itself...(Of course that is excrucitaing), however it is the family members/friends/loved ones who do not understand or question you or don't believe you or tell you that you shouldn't take medications to manage that hurts the most. It is our support system pulling away that seriously does the MOST damage. The people that are supposed to love you NO MATTER WHAT, or the ones that promise "in sickness & in health." I think it is better that I found out now, but I am totally shocked that this is occuring. I know this sucks. I know it is hard, but I will live anyways and plans can be adjusted.... As my father said, "If he truly loved you he would have been there for you when you got diagnosed and he would still be there for you...." My life will go on. This happened 2 months ago and I am just now beginning to regain my footing. I am starting to look at the positive things that this has taught me and that's the only way I will keep my sanity.

Amazing Book you NEED to Read!!!!

Just finishing up my audiobook I bought from Hay House Now. Mind Over Medicine by Lissa Rankin MD. One of the most important thing someone who suffers from RSD/CRPS symptoms need to believe RSD is curable. Simply believing that it is INCURABLE..... Will make it so!!!! Please reconsider your thoughts and READ this book or listen to it! I promise you it will change your life!!! Xoxo

Sad Update

Just yesterday I learned that two people with RSD/CRPS decided to end their own life. This illness is something that is very hard to handle and often leaves its victims feeling very, very alone and desperate. Please learn all you can about this illness and please share and make others aware to help people get the understanding and support needed. I myself am sitting in the waiting room of my Pain Management Centre waiting my turn to get my lidocaine infusion. I got absolutely no sleep at all:((

Back from Philadelphia

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!!! I am hoping and praying I am able to do this as it is scary to think of the future without it. In my last post I said that nothing good had come of RSD. On retrospect, I realize that that is an extremely negative position to take as I have learnt valuable life lessons from my experience. I would not like to continue with this illness and I would not wish this on my worst enemy. I have and will continue to try to make Lemonade out of the lemons that I have gotten. Unfortunat
