So we moved!!! We are in a beautiful home and we deserve it. YEAH!!! During the move I also got off ALL MY MEDICATION!!! Yep that's right, ALL of it. However, I have since gone back on my depression medication. I hurt like the dickens and do minor things. Otherwise I am extremely grateful for my family and friends who helped push me through to the next moment. We are not quite settled yet, so I don't know how soon I will be back on. Let me at least give this synopsis of my life since my injury, treatments ...<< MORE >>

I want you to meet someone I have met in my journey's since becoming Afflicted With RSD/CRPS. Her name is Marla Martindale, but like many, I know her as Coach Marla. I invited her to be a guest blogger on here and she accepted. I don't think I expected any less from her either. She has a warm and bubbly personality and I look forward to all interactions in the future. So I introduce you to Coach Marla: Thank you Christine for your interest in me and my RSD Coaching™. I am delighted and honored to be mentioned on ...<< MORE >>

I found this inspiring story about a woman suffering from RSD/CRPS who has made her life enjoyable once again. Very moving. You can learn more about her and her accomplishments at www.hilarylister.com Sailing gives me a sense of freedom that I never thought would be possible again ... Hilary Lister had her life worked out from an early age. It was all planned, she was going to be a biochemist. She knew which exams she needed to pass, what grades she had to get, even where she wanted to work! Simple. Just stick to the plan. ...<< MORE >>

I have found a wonderful site: www.BlogTalkRadio.com. If I had a microphone and the proper equipment to take calls I probably would be doing that also, or even instead of this. Sometimes typing hurts, that's why I don't post more than I already do. One particular show that I have enjoyed listening to is Coach Marla. Now Coach Marla is an RSD Coach. According to her website, http://www.awinninglifewithrsd.com/: In October 2007 I was not only diagnosed again with RSD, but now they threw in Fibromyalgia,Osteoporosis and Multiple Sclerosis. And to be totally honest with you, I ...<< MORE >>

I catch myself thinking about how I need to get on here and tell you the things that are happening in my life, but then I don't. Why don't I? Why can't I find the oomph needed to write that sentence and type those words? Where does the want and the drive to function in this capacity go? Why do I withdraw into a shell, only to kick myself in the arse for not giving good news, or telling about the story(ies) I have found?

I don't think I will ever have those answers. I would have to surmise that this ...<< MORE >>

This is from: http://rsdadvisory.wordpress.com - As you know, I try to get a complete (well it will never be complete) list of resources. I appreciate this extensive list. It has a bit of everything. I will probably add it to my forum, which will be a tedious task. It is definitely too much for my website. So here it goes. I will copy this and repost it every other month.

As always, Pain Free Hugs to you

I found this article and had to share it. It really pulled at my heartstrings. The Scooter Store Donates Power Scooter to Former NYPD Officer Who Responded to 9/11 Gift of Mobility lets disabled Middle Island man enjoy his young family and active life. Like so many other young men, Kevin was there when his country needed him most. And the least we can do is show our appreciation for his sacrifice. Middle Island, NY (PRWEB) April 7, 2008 -- After terrorists attacked the World Trade Center on September ...<< MORE >>

As you all know, my son is now in baseball. He has never played baseball before this, and I mean NEVER. He has been practicing though. As a mother I am very proud of him. He is giving his all to this sport and hobby. So now you can understand my EXCITEMENT when my son hit the ball straight down the middle. It was missed by two players and made it all the way out to the back field. He ran to first base and brought in two players that were on bases. The next batter came up, was walked, ...<< MORE >>
