Another year, another disorder.

May 16, 2014

Saying goodbye and good riddance to 2013, being superstitious as I am, was cathartic.  Or so I thought.  But I should have known better.  Towards the end of 2013, I started having issues that nobody could make sense of. My Orthopedist finally decided I had RSD (Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy) which has been changed to CRPS (Complex Regional Pain Syndrome).  That doesn't fit because my symptoms are not regional, they are systemic.  Inclulded with RSD is rapid hair loss.  I should have caught that, I was cutting my hair or sitting on it frequently, but I didn't really give it much thought.  When the hyperhydrosis was realized, I'd had it for so long I never considered it a symptom of anything.  But the loss of appetite - that was new. It's completely gone. I seldom eat and my weight is suffering.  If I get much lower, I'm going to be in trouble.  Auto-Immune disorders are supposed to be "self-limiting", but none of them have gone into any form of remission, and clothes are too big and I have to buy new.

I stopped counting how many issues I have going on now, I can't do anything about them other than reduce stress, and that's not something the ex is allowing me to do.  So I come here to purge my thoughts and feelings into my blog and hope things will get better without any reason to really believe they will.  But without optimism, well.. I'm not ready to go there yet.
