Update on Ketamine

I saw my heart specialist last week and it appears that I will be able to do the ketamine infusion sooner rather than later.....Yay!!! So I am seeing my amazing pain management doctor, Dr Shulman, on Monday to apply to OHIP to see if they can pay for the one available in Florida as they have payed for it before. I am just hoping for the best at this point, because this is so going to cost me an arm and a leg. I am in a new positive mindset and I am not allowing "incurable" to run my life anymore.
I just finished reading a book called, "You Can Heal Your Life," by Louise Hay. It has inspired me to use my brain and positivity to overcome the limitations of this illness. Now I do hope that I can do it. I'm not sure if I buy into the you created this for yourself stuff because really, blaming myself for creating a dysfunctional body is not going to make me feel better whatsoever and if I can't control this with my mind, I don't really want another frigging reason to be mad at myself....!!!! Seriously though, think about that one....
It's your fault that you got it......Now it's your fault you can't get rid of it.....How is that going to be healthy or help me with that.......?????
And, of course, it doesn't help me with the friends or family members that already say that positive thinking will make it go away. Well, honestly if it was that simple I would have been healed a million times over already.
This is a really tough illness to live with. Occassionally I fall apart. Like the other day talking to my sister.
I am better the last couple of days though thank god. Just hard to know what to look forward to. Hard to feel like there is even much there to be excited about....
Hmmmmm...... Working on positive mindset. Making reasons to be happy and things to look forward to. I am really thinking of volunteering. I do think that will help me to feel better. At least I won't feel so useless and/or bored.
Anyways, I am certainly happy that I may be getting Ketamine done in about 2 months time. So maybe this time in August I will be on my way to feeling a million times better!!! I am picturing this, I am hoping for this, I am praying for this.........

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

New Beginnings & New Blessings

I have met someone! I have met someone very, very special. I cannot stop smiling and it is awesome. I tried internet dating yet again, but this time on a much more reputable site and found such a wonderful man. Eek! I am so happy. His name is John and we have been seeing each other for a couple months and it is wonderful. He has two amazing children, a son and a daughter and they are so sweet and well behaved. He is exactly the kind of guy I was looking for. I have continued to focus on positive thinking to draw positive things into my life and it is working. Work is going extremely well and so is the love life. I also just got back from Florida which was beautiful and oh so warm. I am really missing those beaches already......:( I will be back to visit soon I hope!!! I have had a fever for 2 weeks now and on antibiotics so I hope that it clears this week. I also, unfortunately, rolled my ankle and so I am now back on crutches etc. I started to get down the first day, but decided to ...

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:((
