Hey Jeannie,

I guess a more real set of words would be "normal" days and "horrendous" days - but to make it sound positive it's better to go for good days and bad days and is so much more socially acceptable (friends always ask if it's a good day, never a normal day!!!!)

I guess for me a "good" day has me sitting up for most of it, being able to go out of the house, spend time outside even though I am shattered and my pain is horrible, whereas a bad day I feel like I've been smacked round the head with a saucepan, got a hangover, can barely think from pain and fatigue and other RSD symptoms appear far worse, on days like these even sitting up for 10 minutes can drain me for the rest of the day pain wise and I would find it hard to impossible to go out and do things.

I hope this is some help! I wish good days were pain free - but they are just a day when you can do more and the pain is not destroying your life as much, but never gone.

Love
