is feeling Bad
Stressin about my new job starting soon and my pain levels increasing lately. most likely from stressin out Im sure
I am 41 years old. I also work as a Physical Therpay Aide and love my job.I was recently diagnosed with RSD after having ankle surgery 3/4/07 to repair Osteochondral Defect of the tibia (and tibia head drilling)from a long term ankle injury that was misdiagnosed. I also struggle with fibromyalgia and other health issues. I am a mom of 4 and a wife of a Hubby with a seizure disorder and who struggles from a brain injury that occured almost 20 yrs ago. My hands are full, my plate overflows and Im completely overwhelmed right now. I have been depressed and fighting anxiety and well, I have hit rock bottom emotionally. Im so empty inside. I feel like a tiny speck floating in a vast empty darkness alone.
I am creative and artistic. I love to write childrens books that encourage and bring hope. I also write peotry. Although its been a long time since I have lifted a pen (metaphorically speaking of course) and written from my heart, I do love to write. I think circumstance in my life have prevented me from writing anything recently but I will, soon. I LOVE the ocean. Its my passion and I get a sense of peace, energy and inspiration from it. My dream someday is to live by it. I lvoe to take long walks (been a while since I injured my ankle last yr though) hike and do anything that keeps me in motion. My worst enemy half the time is myself; I am a pesamist(spelling?) and hope someday that will change (becuase negative energy attracts only negative energy...you think me knowing this would ahve changed me already). I have two cats, 4 parakeets, 1 dog, My hubby Rick and four great kids (2 are his 2 are mine but together we make a veyr blessed family). Im not even close to being monatarily, but I am rich becuase of the love that surrounds me with the 6 of us as a family (and the zoo LOL)

Recently diagnosed w/RSD (at end of this June).I injured my ankle last july 29, 2007 from being silly on a trampoline and went for months & months of wrong diagnosis and 4 months in boot cast with pain every day.March 4 I had ankle surgery.Doc found a mess in the joint and no cartelige left on the tibia.I was diagnosed with Osteochondral defect. She debried the head of bone then drilled small holes in it.Now I suffer from RSD. Pain mngment Doc said it started way before the surgery (I DISAGREE)
My husband suffers from Post Traumatic Seizure disorder. His Epilepsy is from a severe head injury he had when he was 17 yrs old. 16 yrs later, he began a seizure disorder. Its been a struggle for us, especially me sicne I am the only driver in the house, we have 4 kids and I have alot of health issues but I have to be the glue to hold this household together and it gets so voerwhelming.
I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia when I was 33 but I had it for years before I was finally diagnosed with it. In my early 20's my doctor thought I had CFS. Personally, I feel I ahve both and they are hand in hand with each other. Everyday is a struggle; some days are easier then others but because of ym stress levels being so high, I always feel yucky and tired and in pain. I dont think there will ever be a day in my life where Ill ever function normal ever again.
I was diagnosed with this when I was about 20...by the time I was 33 I was then diagnosed with fibro. My Doctor feels I have both adn they are sorta of hand in hand.
