              Agh! It's just been one of those weekends all thanks to you RSD or CRPS!!! It's been raining here for 2 days now, so my pain has been even more off the charts than normal! My leg feels like I could boil eggs on it, and after the eggs were done, someone then turned the pan into a hammer & then just used it as the 2nd form of torture to hammer away at my leg, ankle, & foot! My knee & ankle & foot (especially my toes!) are just frick'n killing me!!! I swear one of these days this damned disease will consume me, but until then I will try to keep fighting the fight....I don't really have a choice now do I?
              • Michelle Ward
                Michelle Ward I'm sorry for all the pain you're in. I have a close friend who struggles with that disease as well. As I see it, there are two choices: live or die. I'd prefer to die, but I promised my mother that I wouldn't hurt myself (even though, it's all I think about). I don't mean to think about death constantly, but it's not easy being in relentless pain continuously, adding to that chronic depression and anxiety. It really sucks. I miss just being normal me. 😥

                Kimmy Murrah Argotsinger--Loves Her Great Dane! Me too Michelle...If you ever need someone to talk to I'm either here on GG or over on F/B, I don't think you're on my list over there are you? Do you use f/b? If you do, you can send me a friend request & then you'll be able to talk to me when I'm over there if you need some one to talk to! Thank you for your compassion of my situation, it doesn't help the pain physically, but it helps in it's own way to know that others feel bad about my having it. It's been the biggest struggle & fight of my life, it's now going on close to 20 yrs. of living in a "Pain Hell", as I call it! I never had problems w/ depression until about the 3rd yr. of living w/ the disease, then it came around, & it too has it's teeth in me! Well, I'd love to chat privately w/ you sometime! If you aren't on f/b, try to get my attention some time over here & maybe we can figure out a way to talk! I hope you're having a nice weekend! Take care of yourself hon! Kimmy

I've been very luckyalk , I've found very good, caring, & supportive Dr.'s the last 3 states we've lived in...I'm sorry about your lucky w/ Dr.'s & all that...I think once you've served your country all should be done to assist you w/ your medical needs..You could have lost your life, the least a persons country should do is make SURE they get the fastest, best medical coverage that the country can provide, no matter if the health problem has anything to do w/ their time they served or not!!! Just my opinion! I know the VA's can be a nightmare to deal w/ though...my nephew had to travel across 2 states to get the surgery he needed! If you ever need a friend to talk to, whether it's dealing w/ RSD, pain, etc. or not, please don't hesitate to look me up! Here or on Facebook, I try to be a good friend, compassionate, & all that!
