These posts hurt to read. I think all of us grieve for the person we were. My biggest pain came from having to give up my career. I was at the top, when I had to quit, and had a real shot of having a comfortable future. Instead I am on Medicare/Medicaid, broke, and yep angry. It isn't what I worked for. I do not have RSD, but I do have pain. I can't do the things I did either.
I had a national reputation in the art field, rode horses, skydived, traveled all over the country. All came to a screeching halt. I am sorry we all have to give up many things that we loved, and parts of ourselves that we loved too. ginnie
