Hi all!
Been a while since the last blog as life has been dishing it out. In January of this year I lost my doctor. She decided she didnt like medi-cal, and dropped me as a patient. I then found out that almost all doctors didnt like this kind of insurance, and the ones that did were not that great.
That left me going to the ER and the county clinics. What an eye opener those visits were. Just the other day I finally got a doctor I can call permanent, at least until the Social Security kicks in. Anyways, it feels good to finally have a doctor I will see on a regular basis. This doctor, like all the others ive seen believes she can cure me to a certain extent. I havent had any kind of meds since January, so getting put back on some is gonna be nice. Although I have been on all of them in the past and it didnt cure me. It also will be nice to get all the results for the tests this doctor has ordered. Kinda interested in the sleep test, as I know I have troubles there. Only this doc thinks that fixing this problem will fix most, if not all the problems of with RSD.
We shall see.
Here it is the 7 year anniversary with RSD. It all started in the right leg, but now has spread to my entire body, and is also effecting my central nervous system. My blood presure is waaay up, and got the doctors wondering how they are going to get this monster under control.
Just when I think that it has reached its peak, and cant get any worse than it is. It get worse! The spread is probably the scariest thing to ever happen to me. I have read the RSD/CRPS doesnt spread in everyone, and I thought I was one of those people for the last few years.
Then one day in physical therapy they had me do a simple little excersize with my right arm. I felt the shoulder twinge in pain, and I stopped, buit it was too late. It has been almost a year and the shoulder doesnt feel any different at all, it hurts just as bad as the day I injured it. Not only that, but it spread into my left shoulder within a couple of months.
That kinda started the spread of the RSD throughout my body, at least into the limbs. Now I have it in all 4 limbs, lower back, right hip, and right side of my torso. The nervous system was attack before I injured the shoulder, but it has increased the problems in the nervous system since the spread.
I hope one day to report that I am getting better instead of always writing that I am getting worse. Maybe they will find a cure for RSD soon!
