Once again thanks to all for thinking about me and my Parents. This whole group on this RSD site is so caring. It seems the best way that I seem to cope is by just talking to my close friends and also trying to do pilates and swim as much as I can. As far as anti-anxiety meds,I cannot take them. My Dr has tried to put me on different ones however I always have some kind of different reaction to them. We all have to cope with what is going on in our lives in one way or another. Every day I thank God for the small kernel of determination-and the support of my friends-who helped find and free the rainbow during that stormiest of times. (Sharon M Chamberlain)
