I was diagnosed with RSD in 2015, I was taking Percocet, I was also doing meth amphetamines, which caused me to lose my pain meds, therefore I take a lot of gabapentin, and Ibuprofin. Sometimes it hurts so bad, they do not help. I no longer do meth, but I cant find a doctor to give me the Percocet back, I was also diagnosed with depression and anxiety., I need help finding a psychiatrist, my life has deteriorated along with my rsd spreading, the tops of my toes burn like they are on fire same with my knee, the original injury was a fractured right ankle, both sides of the right foot, and a broke fibula, I have no friends, my girlfriend broke up with me, so I have no support, the loneliness is painful enough, there is a reason they also call it the suicide disease, I wish someone would contact me and educate me a little more on it.
I have had CRPS since 2005 and Jim and his organization have always shown that they care about people with this disease and helped me to understand more after I was finally diagnosed in 2008. First rate organization that is always willing to help with people's needs and certainly understand that in this ever changing environment, all support groups are vital.
