Sorry for the late reply, sometimes my hand won't cooperate.

Renee, I know, I wanted to scream with you!! I read your post but could not respond right then. Some times we know how we [U]should[U]feel but we just can't make ourselves feel.
I have been on both sides of the emotional fence. Sometimes, I know if I don't power through the pain it will only get worse, or if I don't excercise it it will only become more "cripled", so I do it and force myself through. Other times I will get a brief reprieve for an hour or two and wonder to myself "what's the matter with you that you can't "________________"?
Then the CRPS/RSD Monster will rear it's head and I can barely function whether it be side effects or pain and then add in a comment from someone "isn't your wrist healed by now?" Then we're right back wanted to scream.
