since i have spoken to you last, i could not take the pain anylomger..i ended up getting a pain pump put in for legs and feet..I am able to walk some now. It has, Morphine and bupivacaine in pump. I just recieved it inserted 8-10-09..I am set very low yet. I only let them go up very slowly..I am afraid of it. But it was that, or wheelchair the rest of my life..the omly problem now is weight gain..terrible..i am a little person, never been over 106 pounds. I jumped from 104-121 in a matter of 2 months since pain pump insertion..I am totally embarassed..I won't go anywhere..Or see anyone. And to top it off, I was a passenger in a {3} car accident. It got my neck, c2-3, c-4-5, c6-7, bulged discs..Now i am going through the pain of all this..We had to be towed, we were in the middle..Drivers fault I was in...Toooo Much to handle right now...tooo many appointments, And i get so tired, I have to come home and go to bed....sleep...VICKIE KENDALL, vickiekendall@ymail.com I JUST FEEL LIKE A HAVE BEEN HIT BY A MACK TRUCK...

I HAVE R.S.D. DISEASE. 6 YEARS NOW. A MEDAL BED FRAME FELL OFF AFAFTER AND LANDED STRAIGHT DOWN ON MY BARE RIGH FOOT, GASHED IT OPEN AND FRACTURED IT. I NOW HAVE R.S.D., IN WHICH HAS SPREAD THROUGH ENTIRE LOWER LIMBS. UP RIGHT LEG THROUGH GROIN DOWN LEFT LEG IN WHICH HAS PUT ME IN A WHEEL CHAIR. I WENT THROUGH SURGERY 3 TIMES WITH THI SPINAL CORD STIMULATOR IN WHICH DOES NOT WOR FOR PAIN (NO) MORE. I AM CURRENTLY DOING ACCUPUNCTURE AND THE 3RD TIME, I WAS ABLE TO GET UP AND WALK OUT OF HIS OFFICE. I HAD SO MUCH PAIN FOR YEARS, SCALED AT 8-9. I WOULD JUST CURL UP AND CRY. I HAD TO CALL 911 ABOUT A MONTH AGO, FOR I AWOKE FRM A NAP AND COULD NOT WALK OR TALK. I HADTO BE HELD UP. I THOUGHT I WAS HAVING A STROKE. IT WAS ANXIETY!!!’THEY GAVE ME ATIVAN, FOR THE ANXIETY, AND THEN SOME MORPHINE FOR PAIN. I DISLIKE TAKING DRUGS, FOR THEY REVERSE ON ME, KEEP ME UP ALLLLL NIGHT. ONE DR. PUT ME ON METHADONE, I ONLY STAYED ON IT FOR 4 DAYS AND WENT OFF, WEIRD SIDE AFFECTS. R.S.D. DISEASE IS CONSIDERED THE HIGEST ON PAIN SCALE, PASSING UP CANCER. I AM GOING TO STICK WITH THE ACCUPUNCTURE. IT HURTS, WHEN HE PUTS THE NEEDLES IN BETWEEN MY TOES, BUT I JUST BARE WITH IT. ANOTHER THING WITH R.S.D., YOU LOSE YOUR TEETH, THEN ASOPHOGUS, AND DIGESTIVE SYSTEM. IM ALREADY AT THAT POINT. I JUST HAD TO HAVE ANOTHER TOOTH PULLED. THEY MADE ME ALL NEW PARCHELS THAT FIT PERFECT. ANOTHER IS ANXIETY, MY THROAT STARTS TO CLOSE UP, MY HEART STARTS TO POUND, AND INSOMNIA, I AWAKE EVERY MORNING AT 3AM..I HAVE TO GET UP. I JUST GET TO THE COMPUTER AND JOURNAL..THEN A COUPLE HOURS OR SO LATER I TAKE A ANXIET PILL, AND GO BACK TO BED.
I JUST WENT TO A APPT YESTERDAY TO BE FITTED FOR A POWER CHAIR, FOR I HAVE LOST ALL MY RIGHT FOOT MUSCLE MASS, ALL THATS LEFT IS BONE, AND NOW IS STARTING IN LEFT FOOT. I ALSO HAVE A APPETITE PROBLEM, I AM DONE TO 97 POUNDS..JUST CAN’T EAT, I CHOKE, I HAVE TO HAVE LOTS OF WATER TO GET IT DOWN. OR I DON’T EVEN BOTHER. THE R.S.D PAIN IS THE WORST I HAVE EVER GONE THROUGH. I CANNOT BELIEVE A PAIN CAN BE SO TERRIBLE PAINFUL. SINCERLY, VICKIE, vickiekendall@ymail.com
