guilt comes with a lot of other diseases, not just RSD. I feel guilt that I can't work like I did before. Guilt that I wear out quickly, guilt I can't walk right, and need the handicap sign in my car. I feel bad I had to quit work, and that I can't be what I use to be. Pain changes a person. Learning to cope is extremely difficult for most of us. I think the only thing we can do is take one day at a time, one hour, one minute, and do the best you can. ginnie
