Tongue ..a few more thoughts added to Pete's Rant!
Don't forget the insomnia,depression,anxiety...along with the PAIN!
Don't forget the challenge it is to get dressed and feel comfy in clothes..heck, one's own skin!
Don't forget fear of crowds as to not get bumped "into" might cause PAIN!
Don't forget the isolation, Too Many Meds We HAVE TO TAKE which cause high blood pressure, gerd, and weight gain!
Don't forget that RSD patients are human barometers and FEEL PAIN when weather changes!
Don't forget the sweats/chills we endure which fluctuate 24/7!
Don't forget that to Hug a family member or friend is something an RSD Patient HAS TO BRACE THEM SELF FOR..as touch/embrace cause additional pain!
Don't forget that the RSD patient's days are filled with multiple doctor appts;PT;psychologist,etc.
