RSD and Dealing with the crap

I have found that 8 hours of sleep will not happen. Instead I sleep in 2-3 hour shifts. If the sheets hurt, uncover from the bottom of sheets up.

I have been on pain meds for 5 years or more. I am currently on MS contin, 60mg X2 a day. the controlled release is great. I back it up with 5mg ocicodone, three tabs 4 times a day as needed.

The pain I feel most often is like walking on shards of glass, and a god forsaken burning. Seek help, as most of us think about an end, but yet we make it another day.
