Hey Linda,

Sorry to hear your appt didnt go as you wanted it to. My hubbies was the same way last time - It was like talking to a brick wall. The ONE saving grace is that he is only 1 of 5 Dr's he has - This one is the one who originally diagnosed hubby with nerve damage so we just need to see him for med updates and so he can "keep up" with him. Two of his other Dr's (they work as a team) diagnosed him with the RSD. They are in charge of his treatment there and we are talking with them in a week or so...Hubby also has had contact with him and he knows we're looking at some med changes. Maybe that patch??? And starting of blocks?? We're not sure yet but will know soon.

I hear ya when you mention work - It is driving hubby nuts not working - He tries so hard to get things done around the house but there is so much he cant do. He also cant drive due to this being in his arm and the meds he's on so that shoots work completely. He decided to do some volunteer work on Wednesdays. I'm available to drive him for that - It will get him out of the house and feeling useful again. I understand your feelings on that - You need to have a purpose and to feel needed and plain just have something to do. I'm betting going back will more then help your depression.

Hang in there girl, We're here for ya
