Hi. I'm new to this forum, and I hope someone on here can help me with something. My fiance' has RSDS (Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome), a chronic pain disease that affects her sympathetic nervous system, that she sustained in a really bad car accident about 10 years ago (which wasn't her fault). She's had more than a dozen paravebral sympathetic nerve blocks in her spinal cord; has been hospitalized several times for 3-day epidural drips; countless sessions of physical therapy; and has to be heavily medicated with strong opioid drugs to get any kind of relief, all of which has been virtually unsuccessful. This past March, she was in, yet again, another car accident (AGAIN not her fault). Four days later, our 200lb mastiff, who was afflicted with a brain tumor, attacked her and mauled her left forearm, requiring her to have get several surgeries to repair her arm and re-attach the muscles and tendons. She's in soooo much pain everyday, and I hope and pray for her to find some relief. She smokes pot to help alleviate some of her symptoms, but I can't seem to find her a strain that's strong enough. She admits that it helps, but that it only helps her to "forget that she's experiencing pain at the moment." I really need to find her something stronger and that lasts longer.
