It is very difficult to deal with RSD, on a daily basis, as a patient. More so, it is even more difficult to have to justify, as a RSD patient,why one can't work, or even play..without someone questioning..WHY?

People close to an RSD patient may get frustrated with the change in lifestyle and this could be the loss of their interaction, with the patient, that once was a reality. Coping skills need to be integrated into the loved ones thought process, as the harm that is vented only impacts the RSD patient in a negative manner.

Promoting awareness of this harsh reality can only be shared by communication with the uninformed loved one. Continual badgering of this subject matter on the RSD patient is spiritual and emotional abuse, that needs to be addressed.
