My Story: CRPS Type 2, Disc Degenerative Disease, Paralysis and Under Medicated
In 2018 I got the flu which turned into double pneumonia and sepsis. My kidneys had shut down and the ambulance was desperate trying to get an active line in.
During this time I wasn't coherent.
When I awoke I was on full life support.
My entire right arm was black and blue.
My family repeatedly asked the medical team and Doctors for imaging which went ignored.
I was moved to Rehabilitation where I learned to walk and talk once again with throat valves. I to this day cannot use my right arm.
As of today I am not able to work because of the war on opiates.
The CDC swung the guidelines far too low. We have watched several wonderful people lose their lives to the 2016 CDC guidelines brought forth in 2024. This has to change in order for us to work again. Please help us fight back.
