Don't let this friend issue get away from you, either. RSD is isolating enough.
People just don't get it. I wouldn't have understood this, had it not happened to me.
One of the things I've begun to do in order to dim the isolation, is to start using Facebook. Even if it ends up being new RSD friends, I have learned how much worse off I am when I isolate.
Change is hard, especially when it's not our idea.

I also think I am a bit less patient with people when it comes to my never ending RSD pain and recently having to leave my job because of it... 25 yrs!! UGH! ...even tho their routines remain the same..I am the one who feels so needy.. Not fair to them..not their fault.. life has not changed in their eyes.. but my/our lives are slowly rolling down hill...so how do we find that happy medium..as it is hard for our family and friends to understand and walk in our shoes.. but our pain makes us desperate and that heavy heart feeling stinks!!!! Yes, I do have a wonderful councelor..just the other day, I told her.. she has grown on me as I fought the "need" of having her at first....she claims I am amazing... now that makes me giggle..like I have all of the answers... Oh no.. I think NOT!!!!!.
Thanks everyone...
