It sucks that CRPS is so darn fickle, makes it harder for 'normals' to understand and accomodate what is going on with us...I'll keep fighting if you do ;)<BR/>Finally catching up on my blog reading, hoping i'll find a happier post as I move up yours...Hugs to you xoxoxCafhttp://rellacafa.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4286152959789576033.post-90505880077883663422009-03-18T13:28:00.000+13:002009-03-18T13:28:00.000+13:00Felicia, I think you know what you need to do, but...Felicia, I think you know what you need to do, but dislike having to do it. I GET THAT. As I said to you before, the RIGHT counsellor can REALLY help with relieving the stress, work on coping techniques, etc... and also help you by supporting your self-advocacy with your school to make things more manageable for you.<BR/><BR/>It is possible to rearrange or lessen the course load at all? It might make your total time in school a bit longer, but might WELL be worth it in terms of your health.<BR/><BR/>I did the same thing with my meds this morning; my nice new bed was SO comfy I slept in... right past the 'window' of time that I NEED to take my morning meds.. OR ELSE.<BR/><BR/>Between the Lyrica (pregabalin) and the Zytram (tramadol) it's a pretty harsh crash when they wear right off. I, too, feel all sweaty, fevery, delirious; my skin crawls all over and I feel like I could jump right out of it... UGH, it's HORRIBLE. Yes, it makes me feel nauseous, too.<BR/><BR/>I believe that this is a combo of the 'withdrawal' of these much-needed meds from our system PLUS the WHACK of pain that the meds are to reduce coming and hitting us like a brick wall!<BR/><BR/>What I'm trying to say is that I DO empathise and understand, my dear. I'm so sorry things are so hard right now.<BR/><BR/>I also feel like there are some good things just around the corner for you - with school and life in general. I'll pray it comes for you swiftly and in the most pleasant of ways.<BR/><BR/>Much love,<BR/><BR/>LisaLisa Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09270449917254845437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4286152959789576033.post-90453169875076828232009-03-18T08:53:00.000+13:002009-03-18T08:53:00.000+13:00Amen, baby girl.
