Perhaps you will wake up tomorrow with a sense of relief that you have time to help your body heal and focus on new ways to find relief.
I know that maybe right now this doesn't make sense, but I believe God works in mysterious ways, maybe this is his way of telling you to slow down and take care of yourself.
Remember to keep Smilin! 
Much love to you,

me feel loved.. Thank you!! As I have just read all of your passages and I am touched by the love and words you have all said.. I believe this feels like a greaving process.. I am typically an upbeat, happy person.. not a crier, least in front of people but this is tearing my heart out.. I can only compare this pain to when I loss my Dad and how much that hurt. I loved my work and best yet all of my friendships I developed there..It was my glue..
Sandy S. you are so correct in your wisdom, as I too think God is telling me to slow down now.. I have fought, I mean fought by literially draging my body around with the use of my cane each day ...for these 2+ years. And how bold of me to think I would not cave to RSD... But, now I am tired and my tank in coming up empty..
My favorite saying as people pass by each day and inquire about my condition has always been " I am fine, it's okay"... Today I want to say to each of you that it is still okay...sad but okay as I think we all have a path to follow..it's how we handlle the bumps and curves in the road is what really matters.. I can honestly say that I feel loved and so supported by you all here.. I thank you for caring about me and sharing my sadness. Even tho I have just crossed a bridge in my life due to my illness..this does not take away the concern and prayers I want to share for each of you.. Bittersweet but without RSD I would have never connected with such wonderful friends... Thank each and everyone of you for being my friend and sharing your love and support!
BTW.. I am scheduled in March of 2010 to see Dr. S in PA... Drexel for a ketamine treatment consult...
