Just a quick note...
Oct. 18th, 2005 08:06 pm
Mostly for Wren's sake so I don't make her worry to much.
Yesterday my RSD suddenly flared up, I climbed out of bed and couldn't even put weight on my feet and as the day went on the pain got intensely worse. I tried hard to get through the rest of the day and even attempted to attend my square dancing lesson (against doctors orders but I find myself having problems breaking commitments to others and wind up feeling extremly guilty). I thought that I could do it, after all one of the best treatments for RSD happens to be exercise. I wasn't even through the first dance when I had to leave. I couldn't stand to be touched, I couldn't walk without pain, I couldn't even deal with having the 100% cotton shirt I was wearing touching my skin and I'd worn that shirt so many other times without a problem...
I'm now working on getting physical therapy set up and hopefully it will start soon. However I'm attempting to go to a place that is closer to work and they have some rather strange work hours and were gone by the time I got the chance to call the office so I don't even know if they can treat my condition. I hope so though cause I'm loosing a significant amount of streangth in my left arm and hand... I'm so afraid I'm going to drop one of the babies and it burns so bad.
My doctors and physical therapists have always said that I really shouldn't be working in child care because of the risks I'm taking with my health. But I love those kids so much... But things ought to get better when I start my physical therapy and for now I have 400MG of Lodine XL so I think I'll be okay. The hand thing is really bothering me though.

Here's some links to better describe what RSD is...for those who missed the post on it months ago. And I yes I happen to fall into the 8% or less catagory in which it has affected my entire body...my father and I are currently dealing with lawyers...
