I have been so stressed lately that I called my Dr. last night and ask to go ahead and turn the VNS up to see if that helps some.

I have done relaxation, meditation,and other methods to deal with the stress. What I find though after the stress gets so high no matter what you try to do to get it calmed down it just keeps going. Thoughts keep going in my head and if I were a keg of dinamite I would have already exploded.

I finally got my furnace in, got my new door in, then I find out my state medical insurance has been stopped for some reason. I had to go back down to see the worker today to find out why. I have 2 Social Workers and the guy has came to see me 4 times. He actually has a crush on me but since he is my SW I don't want to go down that route. Besides he's not my type. LOL
I got spoiled having a good looking tall, thin, dark haired guy by my side so I doubt that I find another one like him. The other one is the one that kicked it out of the system somehow and she wasn't in today so they couldn't find out why. I have not heard good things about her but I had never had problems with her before. So now I am dealing with this. I have stitches in my hand to get out and I know my hand Dr. won't see me Tuesday if I don't have my insurance. My truck is on it's last leg so I have to start looking for a new vehicle. Bill delt with everything I had to get done, now I have to deal with it and I find it very hard to do. Even the simple things get to me. Oh and my oldest Grandson has decided to turn into a teenager now. He's great with me but he is giving his Mom and Dad a headache and it worries me all of the time.

Alli, I am in councelling. Have been for years to get me back to some semblence of living. I think with RSD councelling is a must for a lot of people with it. I go weekly and have for a long time. I now have the VNS to try and help get me even better but so far it hasn't done a lot for me. I have to give it time though. We are going to turn it up this evening so I am hoping that helps me. I can't take depression meds. I gave up on them long ago. That's why we opted for the Vegal Nerve Stimulator.

Tayla, I have always delt with depression but it wasn't until I got the RSD that I just went out of control with stress, P.A, suidicidal tendencies, Anxiety attacks and major major depression. It was like I had no control of anything. It was the wierdest time of my life. I have came a long way though.

Sandel, thanks for the info. I am going to read up on it when I get home from the Dr. I do read the info you are putting up for us. If a person can find one thing in it that hits home or helps then it's done it's job.

Thanks for the help.
