Hey guys!
So... bad news: I had a flare up last night when I was out at dinner with my youth group. Thankfully, I'm at home resting today.
As many of you know, I get impatient often and I like to get things done ASAP. So being stuck in my apartment all day is pretty frustrating. However, I'm using this time to get some homework done. I have a test tomorrow, so a lot of today will be spent studying.
Question: does anyone use ice to dull the pain? I've heard that ice is bad for you, but it does numb the pain. What about heat?
I am a 23 year old SHSU graduate who has been battling RSD/CRPS since 2008. I have a neurostimulator (aka an SCS) and that has been helping so much! I'm here to share my story and communicate with others who are going through the same thing.

Summer is Almost Here!
Life has been really good lately. My feet have been hurting more, though. I think my heels are falling apart. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any more of that same style online. I might email the company and tell them about my disease and ask them to specially make them for me so I can buy several pairs and then keep them for when one wears out. That'd be nice to have all those and not have to worry about finding new, comfortable shoes for my feet.
Today I go to Stephen Ministry at 2:30. I might be kinda late today, because I'm running behind. I'm so tired. I didn't go to sleep until 4 am last night. Not good. That's a lot later than I usually fall asleep. Although I was out at Kat Kab with Jay pretty late last night.
Tonight is my initiation into the Sigma Tau Delta International English Honor Society at Sam! Hooray! I am so excited! :) I'll let you know how it goes.
I've also been thinking lately about other people I know with RSD. I bet there are some people on campus that have the disease, too, just like me. I would love to start a support group or something or at least a Facebook page for them. Hmm... I'm going to do that. What a productive day already! :)
