There is so much still left unattended when it comes to chronic pain. There is so many emotions patients have and go through while waiting and getting a diagnosis. There is confusion, sadness, shame, anger, and then there is family. I was diagnosed with RSD. Was bed ridden for 8 months waiting for it and when I got it, no one really knew anything about it. I was left to myself to find a path that would work for me. I <br />come from a tuff family that said to pick myself up by the boot straps and tuff it out. Absolutely no empathy at all. And when I filed for disability, they shamed me as if I was lazy and didn't want to work anymore. I had just spent two years in night school while running my business fulltime to land a job after I sold my business. They have no clue what I have lost. My new job that I adored. The excellent pay and less time working to spend with my children. I just want to shake them and tell them to wake up and stop all the judging. I've lost so much because of this illness. This is just a touch of what we go through. Then there is the subject of doctors and treatment. I'll save that for another time. I'll just say education is the key to helping and there is lack there of. If there is anything I can do to help, I do it. But know I'm at the point of not being able to do much physicially. To much pain and no effective treatment for RSD.drprose2002https://www.blogger.com/profile/06937089174105615633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2263920188140464269.post-73709014709548562802015-02-09T13:50:31.848-08:002015-02-09T13:50:31.848-08:00"A Moral Imperative", "The invisibl..."A Moral Imperative", "The invisible Public Health Crises", "A Human Right" all describe the need for a social movement to bring dignity to those living in pain. We must focus our collective energies humanity to where humanity doesn't exist. <br /><br />Thank you Dr. PayneLynn Websterhttp://lynnwebstermd.comnoreply@blogger.com
