I just wanted to let some people know of a few things going on with me right now since I feel like I’ve been slacking a little lately. I feel bad about that but it isn’t intentional and I just haven’t been feeling well. Some of my friends here know I have CRPS (Complex Regional Pain Syndrome) and take medication for it. I don’t know if it is the CRPS, my medication, both or just something entirely different. A few weeks ago I started getting a weird shaky feeling which can be caused by the condition and or the medication. It could also be my blood pressure. It usually doesn’t last long but it does not feel good when it happens. I’ve been forgetting a lot which can be caused by both also. When I say a lot, I mean a whole lot. It upsets my kids but it isn’t something I’m liking either. Words that came easily for me are not so easy sometimes and a little over a week ago, it took me almost two hours to do a one paragraph post. My brain just didn’t feel like working right but, luckily, it is not like that all the time. The other day I did some replies and the following day, I had no recollection that I had done them. I did finally remember after much thought. Same thing happens when watching the television..like I miss a big part of the show. Again, it isn’t happening all the time but is happening more often. I’m also still getting the headaches and other overall sick feelings. I do think some of it is from my medication so I’m trying to cut back on it. Hopefully, this week or next, I’ll be talking to my doctor about this and rescheduling my surgery if my insurance will still okay it. That should help me to cut way back on my medicine. I’ve had to reread this four times now to correct my misspellings and I think I got them all but key words are “I think”! Anyway, I probably wanted to tell you something else but have forgotten so I’ll end my post with a couple photos for #colorchallenge because I do like to have at least one photo in my posts! BTW..if I forgot to thank anyone for whatever or forgot to reply to anyone for anything then I apologize for that. I think most of my friends know me enough by now that you know I’m always thankful for you!! ❤
@deerjay
Sorry to hear you are having memory issues, though I have never noticed mispellings in your posts so you really must go through them a few times.
Honestly I do the same, and rely on memo notes on my phone and real life. But sounds like your memory issue is something that really needs to be addressed.
Take care

Thanks @solominer! I usually write my posts first then copy over which works good for me. Pretty sure it's my meds mostly. I cut back and have noticed some improvement but I have more pain. I'm looking into alternative meds now. I'm suppose to talk to a surgeon next week but scared as heck to undergo another surgery especially after reading up more on the procedure. Just tired of fighting sometimes.
@deerjay
Well if its the meds, then finding the right ones for your body sounds important. Yeah surgeries should always be last resort.
Sorry to hear that you are feeling strange from either the medication or the condition. It sounds quite serious and I can imagine that it would be worrying for your loved ones. I hope it is a temporary phase and that things return to some semblance of normal.
You have posted some beautiful photos, I especially enjoyed the second one!
Thanks so much @bengy! I think it is a bit of both but working on getting better! :)
Thanks for the up-date @deerjay. Flowers are very cheerful. All we can do is take one day at a time.:-)
Thanks @manorvillemike! That is great advice and sometimes it really is all we can do! 😊
Maybe this helps, ask your doctor... Maybe it can also help to cut down the other medications...https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4543605/
Thank you @rem3600! I will definitely look into this!
Therefore, you are. 😉 hope everything works out for ya hun🤗
Thank you @enginewitty!!
Dear Dee, I’m just back from visiting my sister and sorry to hear you are having health issues. I’m thinking it’s your medication.
Your eyes are good for you captured some beautiful flowers. 💕 xoxo
Thanks Jo! I think so on some things. I cut back on meds so now I have more pain. Did make an appt with the doctor about the neural stimulator so will see how that goes! xoxo
Hi Dee. I was wondering how you were doing. Hope your Dr. appointment is successful. ❤️ xoxo
