Dawn

Thank you for your support. I shed alot of tears yesterday out of

frustration feelings of no support. I am well aware of the bills but

have no clue how tofix it at this time. I WANT to return to work, I

am capable of doing some sort of employment at least for now. Other

than being a bit tired through the day Im still a viable employee.

But Im not getting any help from w/c, no assistance from utilization

review in getting injections done so I can get the clearance to

return to work..Im frustrated more than anything else.

I'm having a better day except for the arm pain and the burning..its

a rainy dreary day and Im sore..so what else is new LOL!

Im going to call my PCP today and ask about a med I can take to help

with the deeper depression Im headed into. I dont want to be here

where I am and I know its hard on my family. Im not the person I was

6 months ago and its hard on my child especially.

I know once I feel better about myself, facing the future of unknown

issues might be easier. It will make me feel stronger and maybe a

little bit happier.

I guess the phrase of that which does not kill us makes us stronger

is honest and true.

> Keep what you said in your heart, because things will get

better. I'm glad you are getting the anti-depressant. They are

essential along with the other meds.

I'm wondering though if my PCP will give me an antidepressant. He's

not the one handling this RSD right now..only the pain clinic dr is.

The w/c dr doesnt know what to do, the hand specialist doesnt believe

in RSD..but because of w/c I have to contend with him for now and let

him find out for himself that what he " thinks " is going on isnt. I

have to have an MRI next tuesday to rule out a mass LOL. Theres no

mass there unless its a mass that burns, makes my muscles weak and

aches all the way into my chest muscles and my shoulderblades!!

Anyway, I am going to call him today and see if I can go in and talk

to him..Hes a great guy and I adore him. Lets hope his views

regarding my state of mind are the same as mine.

Unless W/C has a problem with it, there's no reason why the PCP can't give you one. My Primary is able to, even though I have a pain doctor. Pain doctors are more concerned about the pain meds. He might at least be able to refer you to a psychiatrist who would evaluate and prescribe.

Love,

Donna trust me I know what your feeling!

Donna,

After reading your message from earlier it brought tears to my eyes. I know exactly what you are feeling, because I go through it each and everyday myself! I did find that going to see a psychologist really helped with all of the thoughts that you go through when having a chronic illness! Even though you sometimes feel like giving up, I know that you will not! We have to fight this awful disease day by day, and we cannot let all the other issues get in our way. One by one we will conquer all of our deamons and we will come out of this better than we could have ever thought!!!
