OT - I'm so scared
I've done lots more research on RSD, and I'm certain that's what this is...
the unexplained sweating, the "cold hand" thing, the little red spots on my arm they call "skin bleeding" - all of it points to that. And this is something that I've had now for almost 4 years and it's already gone to my right leg and starting to feel it on my left arm, so I really don't even have hope that I've caught it early enough to get effective treatment for it. I'm starting to have trouble even typing now and will probably have to quit my job soon - and there goes everything, my house, my cats. I know there's not a thing anyone here can do - I guess I'm just venting, but I'm so, so scared! -- Hugs, CN |

Joy I'm seeing a doctor who specializes in RSD on Monday (if I can get my medical records faxed over in time - he refuses to see anyone without having their records first, a standard requirement for pain docs). I just afraid it's too late - I'm starting to have trouble moving my fingers (and my job consists of typing). Hugs, CatNipped |

If you do learn that it is really RSD and if it is so bad that you would have to give up your job, I think it would be worth looking into disability retirement. That would provide income and medical benefits. The specialist you are going to see on Mondaymight even have some information on that. Certainly, he would be aware of what medical evidence you would need to provide. MaryL |

(Fear can only magnify symptoms, which you certainly don't need at the moment!) I hope your self-diagnosis is mistaken, and that the new doctor can help you. (the cats send purrs, of course). |

What is RSD, and I'm sorry you think you have it? Purrs and vent away.

If you are not able to do your job any more because of a medical disability, that's what they have disability benefits for. I know dealing with the government is a @#$% but you have as much right to use the safety net as anyone else. I hope the doctor you're seeing on Monday can give you some answers and some hope... but life isn't over. |

I know that sounds stupid, but it will certainly make everything worse. DO NOT allow yourself to embark on a mental chain reaction from your current troubles down a slippery slope to total ruin.

I can understand why you are scared but, until you see a Doctor and get a
proper diagnosis, the mind can do terrible things. Looking things up on the net can be good or...........not. Will be praying that you are wrong. "CatEyes" wrote in message ...

Not cures, but treatments to make things more bearable. Here's purring that you can get through this and there's a light at the end of the tunnel for you.
