2020 - Corona & Me Coming Back

 Hi 🙋‍♀️ All!!!!

I am so sorry and feel absolutely terrible. I started a blog to help others, to record my journey and to spread awareness of this illness. My pain levels became so much more manageable and, well you know, life.... and I kinda abandoned my blog. I didn’t mean to and I think it’s very therapeutic as well as creating the intended benefits to others mentioned above. 

I don’t know that I’ll be on here monthly, but I will write more as I truly feel that more awareness needs to be out there.

I have had this illness for 12 years now rounding on 13 years.I have learned a ton of tricks and hacks and I have learned to appreciate the good, the bad and the downright ugly. I know that a lot of people need encouragement. This is nicknamed the suicide illness after all...... 2020 has been a whole lot of fun for most of us. Pandemic life. But..... ironically, while my family members and friends are melting down and grieving their losses.... I’m just over here like - Hey! I got this! This is nothing. Been doing it for 12 years ;)

So - there’s another benefit. Haha! But seriously! I’m just saying... you have to look at the positives and count the blessings and LAUGH or you’ll lose your marbles or ever loving mind.

I love you all. Count your blessings and know that tomorrow is a new day. I know some days are brutal, some tolerable, some ok. I know you have constant pain, but it doesn’t own you and it doesn’t define you.

I’m here for you and I understand and if I give you a sliver of hope or a laugh. Hallelujah!

Take care of yourself!

Pain free virtual corona free 🤗 hugs ***

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
