Recovering
Kerissa • January 15, 2013
Yesterday afternoon, I got discharged from the ER. My breathing and heart rate is much better than before, and my fever’s still gone which I’m very thankful for. They put me on a 10-day course of Tamiflu, an anti-viral med.
Any kind of illness can exacerbate the CRPS, and to my great dismay, the flu did just that. My hands and feet are now swollen and oh so painful. I now walk twice as slow, and I never could walk fast in the first place cuz of my weak leg. Praying I can get squeezed in to see my pain dr. this week..
Until next time!
P.S. Please stay well, everyone! I learned in the hospital that the flu shot only protects one from Influenza A, not B (which is what I have).
