LisaM, I'm with you.. I don't think they should hve stereotyped and said any other person would be on disability becasue my drs tried to get me to file disability, but I do much better working.. I did have to change careers from being a hairdresser, since the RSD is in my foot, but I could not stand to stay home all of the time. I did for about 2 years and that was just too much. I still hurt like crazy, but the more I move the better my pain is, especially my Fibromyalgia pain. if I am not active for a day or two my fibromyalgia really is horrible. Also when I wasn't working and couldn't wear a shoe so I didn't move around a lot, the dystrophy was bad in my RSD foot and leg. It is still somewhat smaller than the other one, but not as much since I make myself use it daily. I am thankful that I am able to work. There are days that I'd rather not move but I will not let this monster win.
My RSD foot and leg is definitely always colder than any othr part of my body.. Like Josie, the heat makes me feel better but the cold and humid weather just kills me.
Hugs and Prayers to all,
Janet
