One of the reasons I have been unable to participate here is 'Pain Management' had me on so many narcotics that I was either sleeping or in pain for over two years. This past May, I decided it was time (after they told me they wanted to put a pump implant . . . yeah I thought about that for less than a blink of an eye) to get off the drugs and see where I was at now. The reason I agreed to take the drugs in the first place was the pain had become RSD and had spread to my legs and arms.
Like many, my family has not been very understanding. Thank God/dess I had already built a 'village' of sisters and brothers who knew me better than my family and have stuck by me through it all never letting me give up.
My life is an open book. So ask anything and you'll get a straight answer. I don't really have time to sort through all the postings that have gone before so I hope you will bear with me if I ask something that has already been beat to death. Just point me in the right direction and I'll look it up.
I must tell you that the thing that prompted me to get busy on this is my half-sister Lorri has recently been diagnosed with this same disease and I'm hoping I can do something to help her and all of us.
