I think with getting out and doing things depends on how far along you are with controlling the RSD. Up until 3 years ago, I couldn't have done it. At least with volenteering we can sat our own pace. We can't get fired for not showing up.

Do you have kid, grandkids? I'm very involved with my two Grandson's. Tonight I am going to a spaggetti dinner to raise money for Devin's trip to Tennessee this month. His group of 6 took 2nd place in the state in acting. They wrote their own play and performed it. They go to Knoxville the end of this month to go against the other 49 states and 30 countries. I wish I could go with them but I can't do that. The boys spend a lot of time here and I am trying to help Dustin decide what he wants to take in College after he graduates next year.

As far as volenteering, I really enjoy it. The vets have war stories to tell and they are very inspiring. They are very upbeat.

You can also PM me too if you want someone to talk to. I am also having fun on facebook, hooking up with relatives I haven't seen in years. Think about that too along with coming here to talk to people.

I gained 15 lbs. on Lyrica and have only been able to get 5 of it off.

Do you and your sister go out any? Maybe she could help get you out more.
