Guest guest Posted December 16, 2002 Report Share Posted December 16, 2002 Hello Friends: I have been meaning all day to get a short report off to you all. The past few weeks my RSD has been a real battle. Most recently, I had a 72Hr epidural for my left leg RSD. That came out Friday morning. There were some strange side effects from this that are clearing. For example, my toes turned black, but not due to lack of circulation. By Sunday, the block had set up. For the first time in many weeks, my RSD pain is very quiet in my right arm, left leg as well as other spread areas. The serious infection in my right arm is gone. All of the medications and treatments do take a toll on my system. I am tired and my GI is not happy. I am as near to pain free, for now, then I have been in a long time. With an advancing Pacific storm system, our barometer is falling fast today and is well below the level where my pain usually " weather flares " . It has not. Thank you for individual emails and information. I really appreciate that. There are so many here with too many problems. I do keep you in my thoughts and prayers. I know this is hard advice for me to follow, but no matter what, please try to keep a positive outlook! This is a requirement for all of us to better manage our constant pain!
