It's also very humiliating to have my kids carry my stuff, and guide me walking. I know that they're just dying of emberrasment (sp?) and would like to crawl under a rock. I've pretty much stopped going anywhere that I don't have to. Just too much trouble and too humbling. Before RSD I was an avid runner. Lacrosse coach, baseball coach, type "A" hyper personality. My average work day was 18 hours, all on my feet. Now I spend my days on the floor, stretching and watching TV.

I am sorry and can relate in many ways. As for your kids I hope as they get older they see what a caring mom you are to be there at the games when you are in so much pain. Some parents for no reason don't go. I give so much credit to all the parents dealing with this. I can relate to before rsd being so active to now being so limited.
