Hi Ada,

As the others sad, you are 'normal' as far as living with RSD is concerned. Holidays may be especially difficult, even on a healthy bodied person. Memories of what you used to be able to do this time of year haunt you, and the social commercialism of it all makes you feel totally inept. It, too, shall pass. The ebbs and flows of good moments and bad will always be. My husband just snapped at me for yelling at my young boys ( almost 3 and 5 years old), but trying to care for them day in and day out is sooo difficult, I can't help but yell once in awhile. Perhaps, tomorrow will be a better day. We can only hope......
