Complex regional pain syndrome or reflex sympathetic dystrophy
Chronic Pain | Last Active: Oct 3, 2023 | Replies (185)Comment receiving replies
Just a follow-up to my reference of the cancer diagnosis that my husband had just received not long before my last post. Unfortunately, after becoming sick about three weeks ago, we found out that he only has weeks to live. His cancer started in his colon, went to the liver, lungs and bone.....all without any symptoms until 3 weeks ago. Now he is in liver failure. He has been my support for the past 8 years in dealing with CRPS until we had exhausted all treatments....& now he is going to die in a matter of weeks!!! I just want to go with him...It should have been me...I have been hoping to die as a means to escape this terrible pain. I do not have a life, it is merely an existence!!!! I will be left alone with no family and only one friend that has continued to be my friend through CRPS.

Over whelmed, I can't help but feel a heavy heart for you. When my husband
had his heartattact two years ago August, an thought he wouldn't make it, I
didn't know how I would live with out him. He did make it and now I try to
make sure he stays healthy. BUT, we can't know what tomorrow brings. Please
stay in touch with us, and let us know how you and your husband are doing.

Thank you very much Medic7054.<br />
<br />
I wish you & your wife better health and happier days.<br />
There truly is not much to life if you do not have your health that is for<br />
sure!!!<br />
Do you not find it hard to look to the future with any hope?<br />
I feel that I have only been "existing" for the past six or seven years.<br />
All the best.<br />

Hey! I just want to check to see how you're doing. Mariah
I am getting along ok. I hurt but nerve pain is not too bad.
@ overwhelmed, how are doing. Have been on my heart. Hope you are well. Love and prayers Salena54
@overwhelmed, I am so sorry to hear about your husband. I can only imagine how difficult this must be for you. Thankfully you do have at least one friend who is supportive. My son and daughter are not local so I would need to rely on others if in this situation. I learned when I had my transplant that some of the friends I thought were my closest friends had no use for me while I was recovering. It was a real learning experience. I hope you can get the support you deserve and need.

I am so sorry for both you and your husband. I cannot imagine<br />
what you are going through. Well, actually I can somewhat as<br />
my wife has Amyloidosis. This is a rare disease that has<br />
attacked both her heart and her kidneys, She is currently on<br />
the waiting list for a new kidney. Unlike your husband, she is<br />
currently stable. I also cannot imagine dealing with my pain<br />
without her loving support. It is frightening.<br />
<br />

<br />
My prayers are with the two of you. Keep your faith.<br />
