hi everyone, i just came from vacation from PR, seen my family and parents, it was crazy with my pain, my parents don't know really about my condition I just tell them some information but not too much I don't them to get worry, i been having some pain that affect my whole body like i was biking or hiking. I dealing because my husband had a cardiac catherization the doctor though that he might have a coronary partially obstructed but thank God everything is clear. He is having irregular heart beats,dizzines, chest pain, now we need to look for other things that is causing all the symptoms. I was in PR and i reschedule my flight to be with him because he was supposed to get to PR three weeks later but the doctor didn't allowed him to flight. Is been very tough, dealing with my pain trying to forget it to be with him.

Please have us in your prayer.

I'm so sorry for you mic about your husband. I will keep you both in my prayers. The pain you felt or are feeling now is most likely from stress, we have to watch stress b/c that is when the RSD will try to spread to different parts of the body. I know it's tough but you have to take care of yourself too, rememeber the are relaxtion techniques. Try taking some time during the day to relax, take a nap or just something to get your mind off of things. I get weakness alot, I have it all over my body (RSDS). I try to nap or read. Please take care of you too, b/c your husband does need you but you need to understand when your body needs some time to recuberate if you are doing too much. That's when this disease likes to strike! Talk to your doc about your pain he/she may be able to explain more about what too do or prescribe a muscle relaxer or pain med. Many docs have told me to speak to a physchiatrist for stress, but at $60.00 a pop I can't afford one. I'm on Medicare and they DO NOT cover it. You can try Social Service in your area (they are located in the Blue pages of your phone book). They have people there that may be able to help you. They go by a slide scale on how much you pay for a visit. And will talk about things that are going on in your life to try to relieve some of the stress you defintely have in your life. I hope I helped some. If you need anything else, please ask. Remember we are here for you. Take care Mic , Kim
