Hi Gail,
I know that we all know how you feel. Its so hard to deal with this disease. I feel all of those feelings on a daily basis.I thought that after 8 yrs that I should feel less depressed about the whole thing. I went to a new therapist 2 weeks ago and when she asked me what RSD was and how did I get it, I started to cry. I cried so hard I couldn't speak. She told me that I had suffered a great loss, like a death in the family. I had never thought of it that way. Its true though.We have lost so much and no one really understands. Besides auwful pain we have to put up with 24/7, no sleep, and the unbelivers, sometimes its the little things that bother me the most. This might sound crazy, but things like not being able to wear sandels, having to wear sneakers in the hot weather, not being able to go to the mall because it just makes me so tired. You are not alone here. I hope you feel better.
