Diet and exercise were important before RSD and now it is more important. My full body RSD doesn't allow for the work outs I did before RSD. However, I do go to the Y and water walk, swim and I take an arthritis class (keep the joints moving).
When I am flaired and I really don't feel like eating. I pay special attention to my diet. To keep my emotional state in check I watch or read enough news to know what is going on. I like music, funny programs, the history or food network on TV and spending time with God in prayer.
I think writing in a journal helped me.

Sorry I got off topic of the original thread.

Take care,
Sherrie
