hi purple. i hope you are doing okay. i am so sorry you are having such a tough time. having rsd is hard enough but to deal with a breakup and not being able to take your dog must be very difficult. i hope that you and your husband can remain friends and that you ask for visitation rights to see your dog. i also hope you know you are not alone. as you can see on this forum the people here care and are always there for support. i care too and am here if you want to talk. i am having some issues with my spouse right now and am not sure where our future will lead to either. and i worry about my pets too. i see a psychiatrist to help with my clinical depression and a pm dr to help deal with my rsd. i am thinking about also seeing a psychologist to help me cope with my rsd, marriage and brother who is battling addiction right now. i am very overwhelmed but know that i know i will get through with the Faith i have. i am proud of you for seeing a dr and sharing your life with others here at NT. you are not alone and the fact that your dr sees improvement in you is great news! you may not see it but they know when you are getting better and stronger. just take things a day at a time and know how so very proud i am of you for your bravery and courage. you are an inspiration to me. hope you feel better soon. soft hugs.
