...sometimes people just don't know how to talk to us...maybe she was looking for something in common, ssdi? to talk about besides the crps....and just maybe she thought by taking away one symptom, which she might have more info on, might help with the big picture...

I am a poor judge of people; I think I'm a good friend and start off thinking everyone else must be too...

But I also agree that toxic friendships need to not be part of our lives....

So I wish you the best in this balancing stage you are at....
