Thank you for everything! Thanks for the comment, you made me feel sane! I am scared to death to dream again. Damn freddy and exorsist movies. I thought I was getting attacked, held, down, and possessed b/c of the dark figure by my bed. I really hope tonights over. I don't think I can handle that one. Thanks again, Michelle

Thanks for the message. I do have time off work, I took a week off (hopefully it will be long enough!) I NEVER thought of taking any meds from work. I worked too long and hard to get to where I am, and now that is why I have to beat this addiction!
The pain is awful!! I have 2 dislocated discs in my back, but I know there has to be other means of feeling better.
Thanks for the words of encouragement, I am glad I found this forum!!

Just a quick note to say hi!
Why did that happen? Like I said I didn't hit it 10 times, I posted a note after that saying I did not hit enter 5 times, but I went back to it and it still submitting, must be something up with the site.
I am 50, this past month. I live in Pa. We do not have NA meetings in our town, only one alonon, I did attend it but there was only like 4 people there. I went back 2 x but it wasn't for me. So that is one of the reasons why I turned to the internet.
I am having a bit of hard time figuring posts, forums, etc all out. I am bit slow with the computer.
Thanks for stopping & saying hi

Check the autism forum. That's where I reside. I don't post much on the "addiction" forums because I don't have much in common, except for the personality... Perhaps if they had a gaming addiction offshoot, then I could post a bit more...

part two:
There is things they can do to help her as well. With your help for help and watchful eye I think she would be fine with the pain med's. You know what to look for if she started to abuse them. The disease does get worse without treatment. I go to physical therpy three times a week every week . This has been going on for a year. If this is what she has there is different stages of the disease. Without treatment the lose of the limb could result if left untreated. If you need anything else any questions please ask. Susan :)

Hi again!!!
I have been on my med's for a year now. I take them every 8 hours. I am on 10mg of loratab. On my worst day's I will take 4 sometimes. Along with the disease and loss of usage of your limb there will come depression with the pain. I just went and seen a Psychiatrist for that as well. The diagnosis is hard for doctor's. I had to see a doctor that deals with this disease. There is only two in my state that is familar with this. I had to go thru misery for several months without any medicine until they could find out what was wrong with me. If she can found a good pain managment doctor who understands RSD than she could find out if that is what she has. Does one leg stay cooler than the other? Or redder? Have her tell you all her symptoms. There is so much to this.

Part three:
I will help you as much as I can anytime. Just let me know if you need me. I will write more to you once I feed my little one's. I will tell you this with this disease you have very little life due to the pain. It's been over a year and I have to use a walking divice to get around, and I am only 31 years old with two children so it makes life hard. My heart goes out to her what a good family member you are to help her, but I will tell you from experience if this is something she has she will have to stay on the pain med's until they can get her under control and that might take a while. Susan

It would not let me post all my information so here is part two:
I am going to list somethings from a website that I use for my disease so you can look over it. It is also known as CRPS. Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), also known as Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy, is a chronic neurological syndrome characterized by:
severe burning pain
pathological changes in bone and skin
excessive sweating
tissue swelling
extreme sensitivity to touch
I just want you to keep in mind that you don't have to have all these symptoms. Please have her go over all her pain with you and email me back to see if I can help you further. I have had knee surgery once, they have went into my back 6 times to try to help with this disease. I will write to you further in abit..

Hi RSD is a disease that usually affects the limbs and sometimes the neck area. It's just awful. I have been dealing with it for over a year now. Usually it's a result from injury but he does not have to be. What I take for mine is Zanaflex to relax the muscles and the nerves, neurotine for the nerve pain, lidoderm patches to numb some of the area, and loratab for the pain. Normally the pain is so bad that you are not able to use the limb for well or the area that it is affected. There is redness, swelling, extreme pain, you don't like to have anything against your affected area.

You deserve a big bear hug!. Hang in there friend, I know it never seems to end. I just come of a valium addiction and that was hard.I never know what to say in these cases because when people say to me it will get better,I just think to myself how is that going to make me fell better, you don't know how I feel right now. Anyway if there is anything I can do to make you feel better or support you just send me a note and I will help you any way I can..I must confess I was worried about you because I didn't quite know how to take your mood (enemy48 is well rested,finally).When I hadn't heard from you I was a bit concerned. Sorry if I took it the wrong way but I'm glad you are ok.call on me anytime xx
06/08
Ok. Thanks sooooo much. I felt for sure it was me and I so do not want to cause problems on here. I am so happy to know that i didn't cause that drama. Thank you so much for letting me know. (guess i have a guilty complex.LOl)
