Be Positive, patient and PERSISTENT


Be Positive, patient and PERSISTENT

Be POSITIVE.    I really think that statement alone says a lot about my everyday life with RSD/CRPS. My goal to be positive stems from the mind/body connection and is bigger than I will ever realize. RSD stress is almost always accompanied with negative thoughts can really effect the progression of the disease.

Be PATIENT.   Although every day I hope and pray it will be my last day living this nightmare, I know the reality is, there is no cure. I cannot even begin to explain how hard that one is to except, so I frequently hope and pray for a miracle.

Be PERSISTENT.    Persistence with my Physical Therapy and search for pain relief is my biggest hope for the best possible outcome for my future. And just in case you all didn't know I have BIG plans for my future and one plan includes beating this and never, ever giving up!

So as I head to the doctors today for yet another procedure (that I am nervous about) and for the hope of some pain relief, I ask that you say a little prayer for me that A) The procedure itself isn't too painful and B) That it is successful in relieving some if not all the pain in my right foot.  Of course if it works we do the left foot next. It's a long shot, but like I said...be PERSISTENT and never ever give up!
