counseling to common are these words to me. But sadly this has been the furthest option from helping me. But in no way do i denounce its use for anyone.
Its just in my experience i have found that counseling is useless, this is because my mind and body are 2 separate items and yes i have done alot of mind and body sessions. And the family issue i am referring to a family must first be present to than think that its hard for them to understand rsd. But of my family basically i am my family. because the only other family member thats around is my mother, and that by far is the worst thing as we fight constantly. Pessimistic i am now but only after the complete destruction of my optimism, time and experience along with reality and whats factual have made it impossible to believe in the false hope of optimism. For a good long time i was very optimist even after alot of health and other bad problems but you can only walk blindly in false hope for so long.
Imahotep i understand what u mean with the heart thing although mine also mimics strokes, and even though your literally having a heart attack its not muscle related so it never will show up as a heart attack to a doctor. But the thing is its the nerves that regulate and do the pain not the muscle. My first RSD Heart attack was scary i had just had a friend over and went to walk back into the house and it hit and in a second flat was dropped to the floor and my left arm was numb and tingling. It stayed that way for awhile, but of course in ER terms "nothing medically wrong". Dreambeliever128 u are right about alot. I agree never give up. And i do hope the days turn better, I again thank you both for your posts.
