Guest guest Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 hi everyone I am back.Welcome to all newbies. I went to the hospital that night as suggested by my dr. I was scared shitteless! In the ER they took all of my possessions away once they realized I had suicidal thoughts. I felt like a criminal. the security guard was right outside watching me every second. The room which was suicide proof was ugly cold and uncomfortable. I was "not a happy camper" i don't know what I expected. going to any ER is bad. I had these paper pjs on and paper slippers. i thought that since the dr. gave me a letter to give them that i would just get a room after an hour or two. boy was i wrong. i was going to write from my celly but the took the electric cord away from me and locked it up with the rest of my stuff.I couldnt charge my phone and it died. I WAS ANGRY Jo i was going to call you for sure, but couldnt. I can't type any more so I will finish after I rest a bit OK? I got out on Sunday. I do want to say thanks to all that prayed for me and cared enough to send me responses. To those that didn't, I still know you care anyway. if you are new and reading this post, please keep writing to these beautiful caring folks. I don't know how I would even survived this long without the help from the members of this group. i have rsd for over a year now. I spoke to cliff today on AIM he is also quite wonderful. Thanks cliff for making me laugh today. THANKS TO ALL as Arnold said......I'll be bok lol STACEY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 Cliff !! It is so good to hear from you and to know that you are doing good. If you don't mind I think I will print you e-mail out and talk to my doctor about the drug, you are now taking. Well Cliff take care, drop a line now and then to let us know how you are doing. Lin -- Re: i am back > Cliff, > Is that you?> Glad to see you are still keeping up with us..> Let us know how you're doing!> > JoHi, Jo and all!!!I'm doing pretty well. I've been swamped with work both with the mortgage business and with the music business. My RSD has been very manageable for the last few months. My doc switched me to Cymbalta which is a dual reuptake inhibitor, it works like a normal SSRI (Prozac, et, al.) plus it also works as a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor. The combination relieves depression as well as works on the neuropathic pain. It's been approved for diabetic neuropathy, so my doc suggested I give it a try...so far, so good although the initial side effect of fatigue has been pretty significant. I'm still considering the SCS, but the need for that drastic a measure hasn't been so dire lately...How are you, Jo? Peace and love...Cliff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 Hi, Lin! I don’t mind at all…I hope there’s some relief out there for us all. In any case, I don’t think that this medication is any more dangerous than the other junk that I’d taken in the past (Neurontin, Elavil), so I figured what the heck. My GP doc recommended it and prescribed it, my pain doc said that he didn’t think that it would do much for me, but then again, this guy also wants to sick an SCS in me!!! At any rate, even if it doesn’t do much for the neuropathic pain at least it seems to be a good antidepressant and many of us with RSD can use all the help in that department that we can get!!! It was great to hear from you and I hope you’re doing as well as you can be doing. Write anytime!

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 Cliff, I know what you mean about anti depressants, I have been feeling very down since I was denied the first time by SS I know that almost everyone gets denied the first time. But I must have had my hopes up a lot higher than I thought. I am off the Neurontin, which I think was really effecting my cognitive abilities. So I am glad to be out of most of the clouds. I think the disease itself makes some of your memory and other functions a little hazy. The only down side I haven't been sleeping as good as I used to, but it is worth it just to be off that stuff. So glad to hear that you are doing well. take care, Lin -- RE: Re: i am back Hi, Lin! I don’t mind at all…I hope there’s some relief out there for us all.
