Aloha everyone! I finally got about 5 hours sleep last night (off and on) which made me so happy. I woke up in a panic because I remembered that I had an appointment w/my psychiatrist to discuss all...
Chantrerelle, please notify the airlines you will be flying on about your disability and you may be suprised at the accomodations they are willing to make. They allow you to go into the 'red carpet'...
I'm sorry Nikki, typo's are common when you're in pain, tired and on so many meds...what I meant was academic leave of abscence (LOA). You just have to request it and shouldn't have a problem getting...
Oh my gosh Rhavein, why in the world won't your doctor allow you to get a handicap place card? I so feel for you. I don't know how it is in other locations but over here you can get a place card as...
My heart goes out to you Nicki. I've been there myself. Actually I fight not to everyday. I'm here if you want to chat. I am new to this forum and don't know how the chat part of the forum works but...

I just brought up this same subject to my doctor at my visit last week. She is good. She said YES the meds may effect your libido AND that when your dealing with chronic pain, many times your...
I don't know about anyone else Christina but I don't. It's as simple as that. With a partner and daughter that both have ADD it's a never ending battle to stay on top of everything. I have learned...
Thanks for the heads up Laura about stuff on the web. I did join the RSD organization and like the stuff they send and that is on line. Other then that I haven't read much else. Like I said I'm still...

Screaming Eagle: (This is a bit of the subject) My daughter is on Meds and it's great for her ADD. Daddy doesn't take meds and the way he has learned how to cope with his ADD doesn't work. I agree...

It has been my experience that all doctors are "shying away" from pain meds in general right now because of the recent press on celeberty overperscvibing and pill shopping. The other reason is due to...

Rhaevin, Thank you for the welcome. Again, I see I'm not alone in my situation since you have a child too. You know what I'm talking about. My daughter has known nothing but me being ill from the day...
Thanks for the warm welcome Laura. I was only officailly diagnosed with CRPS about 6 months ago. I've been suffering with it for about 5 years. Maybe a little earlier. It just crept up on me. Started...
