Soxy - Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Message Board

Soxy I'm glad the joke mad you laugh, it did me too. I get depressed as you do, people send me jokes trying to make me laugh. Before RSD I was always smiling, now it is rare.

I hate dealing with Dr's and W/C. I have great docs but W/C enjoys making me beg and that to me is so degrading ontop of my pain I want to let the RSD crawl thru the phone and attack them

Some days I really hate life, of course I have learned to keep it to myself mostly.

I do hope your day is good, mine sucks today. Its hot, I had to beg for my check today (It's been 6 mts since the last time they made me beg), now have to get to therapy.

Stickgirl, I'm sorry you are feeling so badly today. You always seem so "up". I know how much effort that takes. I feel so badly that you have to duke it out with WC. I am blessed in that area. I am on LTD because of depression and post - tramatic stress (not RSD related - that's just the icing on the cake!). I receive SS disab and insurance from where I worked. Technically, I'm still on the Payroll and hope to go back one day..... I had no problem getting either of these because clearly I was sick and the doctors made it clear. Why you have to fight and beg WC for what is rightfully yours really aggravates me. Do "they" think we don't want to be productive members of society? Do they think we just sit around enjoying ourselves like we're on vacation?
I'd give anything to go back to the way things were before I got sick. I know you would too. You didn't ask for this monster. Well, I'm ranting. Hope your therapy goes well and hope that maybe tomorrow you will feel a bit better. Take care. I care.

I am better now, just the morning was bad today. W/c has mostly been good to me, just a couple times my check has not come on time, last week was one of those times. I demanded it be overnighted today, they left a message while I was at therapy that it went out and I will have it before 10am tomarrow. I wish I was back to work, how great it would be to get up in the morning and head to work. I loved working, and hope that I will return soon. I have always been a up type person, some days now it is not always like that.

Working is so good for you, everyone needs that out. I have not always made lots of money, but have loved every job I had and miss it alot.

I hope you are able to return to work soon, they must really like you to keep your job open still. A lot of companies will try to hire a replacement especially if they prefer someone else. Mine will take me back also, they have hired someone to replace me but she is part time and temp. Once I am able, I can have my job back.

Take care, and thanks
