Kissa da Fighting Fish

So How Does Everyone like my new Layout? I had a blast putting it together....it needed to be done. I went to the Doctor again today and I am downgraded to a bad case of Bronchitis. Which is better then what we thought it was. They gave me a breathing treatment, a shot of steroids, some more antibiotics, and another inhaler.
My RSD has been the last thing on my mind lately because I have been soooo sick. Things have been ok as far as I can tell. I am going back to Cleveland Clinic to get a second opinion on my RSD. I am going Dec.17th. Hopefully my mom can come with me cause I hate going to that kinda thing without her.
My birthday is this upcoming Tuesday and I am going to be the BIG 22! I am excited yet nervous at the same time. I don't know what is gonna happen if my friends have anything planned... I don't really care either way. I am just tired and need to sleep.

So anyway I have had a boring week. I have been sick since last monday and I now have pneumonia. RSD stinks because it effects how my immune system works. My friend Darcy gave me the cold that began all this and she barely was sick a day. I can't just be sick a day i have to go all out LOL.
I am babysitting her dog this week, Carter, while Darcy has to deal with some personal stuff. He is a snuggle bug and I love him. He is a 3 year old black pug chihuahua mix.
Right now I am just trying to chill and try to get better. The Doctor ordered me some steroids on top of the Zpak, inhaler, and nose spray that the Doctor prescribed to me.
I took a picture of all my medicine the other day and it made my jaw drop. It is scary how fast I have gone from no meds at all to a ton.
My birthday is a week from now....on the 24th. I am going to be 22 and I hope that everything goes ok between now and then. I have no clue what my friends are planning. I hope it is something low key because my RSD has been acting up a lot lately.
Anywho I gotta go get dinner now....till next time!

RSD is Horrid Disease to have to live with. It is like a roommate the burns everything that they touch. My nerves are fighting against me and make me feel like crap. My limbic system is on the fritz because of it also.

November is RSD Awareness month. I have been really busy with RSD/CRPS Doesn't Own Me the fan group I started on Facebook. Me and some other people are adding information about RSD, or facts, each day this month. It gives me pleasure to help my fellow RSD Patients, or my RSD Angel.

I also started a RSD Store to sell Stuff Designed by me and help spread Awareness. Here is the URL http://www.zazzle.com/kissdatfisha and all proceeds go to help find a cure for RSD.

Also my birthday is coming up real soon. On Nov. 24th I will be 22! I am really excited! Who is gonna give me a gift? LOL just kidding!

Haven't Written in a while. Been busy with church and stuff. I love my new friends and I love learning about God more and more each day. It makes me smile a little brighter and walk a little lighter. Tara and Darcy have been the stronghold in my life other then God. We hang out most of the week and I spend the night at Darcy's and Tara comes over and we watch movie upon movie and just giggle and laugh till we fall asleep.

I miss home sometimes but it is nice to act like I am normal every so often.

Things have been so crazy lately that a little bit of fun helps me forget.

I went to the Ren Fair this past weekend and got kissed by a random guy. It was awesome!

So this monday I had a appointment with my pain management doctor, Dr. Deshpande, and it was a big appointment.
We talked about my pain and how bad it really was. He decided to put me on a new pain medicine Embeda, which is pretty much time released Morphine. Then we decided for my breakthrough pain and/or flare ups that I should take my Lortab (also known as Vicodin.)Also we talked about how I haven't been able to sleep so he also put me on Lunesta.So as of Now I am taking Lunesta 3mg @ night, Lorab 10/500mg as needed, and Embeda 20-0.8mg 2xday. I hate having to take so much medicine but I got to take them so that I can function.
I need to get to my general practitioner soon because there are some other things wrong with my body that might be a side effect of the amount of meds I have taken the last 2 years.
Also I am seeing if my pain doctor will approve me getting a scooter or a wheelchair because it is hard for me to get around without extra help.
My pain has spread to up to my left side. So my whole left leg is also taken by the RSD pain. It is frustrating but I am trying to live the best I can.
I started a new fan club called RSD/CRPS Doesn't Own Me on Facebook
> we have over 200 fans who have or know someone who has RSD. I am trying to spread joy and happiness and help all of us who have chronic pain get through this with a smile.

Anyway I am off to eat lunch.

HUGS!
