I have been so frustrated this past week with issues of RSD that I have become a bit negative, this is so unlike me.

So I was thinking today of things I have learned and benefitted from since being Dx'd with RSD...

There have been a few:

#1: My faith has been strengthened.

#2: I have learned to let go of the things that are little...like dusting, cobwebs, etc. Does it really matter if my house is perfectly clean? Don't get me wrong, it is neat & picked up but there is dusting that needs done, lol!

#3: I have learned how to depend on others & to ask for help. I have always been stubborn and hard headed, now I am able to let some of that go. One example: I do not need to do all of the grocery shopping, it is OK for hubby to do it

#4: I have learned to appr. the little things in life: coffee with a girlfriend on a good day, hanging out at home watching movies, snuggling with the kids,I could go on & on.

Sure, the pain sucks, I hate hurting all of the time, I do not like the side effects of the meds, I don't like having a handicap parking permit, nor do I like walking with a cane but I know it could be worse.

Thanks for reading my rambling
