Do you have a friend who could help out? Maybe you could drive as far as you are able each time, and then they could take over? It's awful having to ask for help all the time tho isn't it? I don't know Nanc, this thing takes so much away from us.

Take it easy and hopefully things will get easier

Bram.
Thanks Bram! Unfortunately I do not have many friends left around me. Lost a lot of them as I got worse, so I guess they weren't too good of friends huh? My "better" friends live in the same town as my family, which is 2 1/2 hours away. I only have a few friends around here and they all work full-time. My in-laws live close by, but neither are doing too well. If my family was closer by, it would be so much better.

I want to ditch this PT, but I have to try it. She told me it would be a lot of visits...at least 8-10 to start. What a pain!! She is helping the pelvic floor but knows nothing about RSD/CRPS....not good!

I had a minor meltdown coming home, I am having one of those weeks where I am so fed up with the pain getting worse and more limitations. It was hard accepting the fact that my husband has to drive me everywhere, and we adjusted. Now this just makes it too difficult. He works an hour from home and the PT/Dr's office is 45 minutes from our house.

Thanks again for listening...
