Dealing with RSD/CRPS and Memory Loss

My short term memory sucks as well which is always blamed on medication as well as insomnia which doesn’t help the CRPS either.

I think the pain level has alot to do with our memory .. on a really bad flare day, I know.. I sure have trouble remembering things ! Pain seems to consume me on those days ! I try so hard not to feel sorry for myself on those days ! ... but, there are days, when I am like " how much more can I handle " !!! Today has been one of those days for sure ! On top of this lovely flare week, I decided to lose a filling... far later than I could get into my dentist this evening ! So here I sit clinching a baby aspirin between my teeth writing this ! Lol
