hi julie. i'm sorry you have rsd and understand your frustrations. it's not easy to live with and not easy to get people who don't have it to understand what you are going through. i just try to take things a day at a time and talk to people here on this forum. they are amazing people who truly care and understand. sometimes it helps for me to vent too. it's better then keeping it all in. and as time goes on you will learn how to deal with the constant rsd pain and the people who don't understand it. just remember take it one day at a time. soft hugs coming your way.
