I still do 10 things at a time but in a run. I can't sit down to even relax. When I do my brain is still going because I'm thinking of what I need to be doing instead of sitting around. I've always been that way. I think we way overdo and can't seem to sat a pace. Everyone I know around my area that has RSDS is definatetly Type A's.

I am wondering about that disposing personality. I have a feeling it's something else some are talking about.

I noticed too, some think depression is a predisposition of it. I have dealt with depression all of my life but I'm just one person. A lot of people here say they don't and never have dealt with depression.

I was talking to a friend last night in her 70's and we were discussing depression. I feel it is a lot more prevalent now with the economy the way it is. I hear it in people when they are talking and some won't admit to having it. Some people think it's a flaw in them that they don't want to admit to or take meds for. I'm not saying it goes with the RSD though. I've heard it brings on Fibro also.

Here's one that I am thinking about. I wonder if we are having other medical issues going on and another is when we have a lot of major problems going on such as marital issues, money issues, law suits, and other negative things going on in our lives at the time that our body and system are unable to fight back and win when we do get hurt or sick. The stress from fighting all of this makes our body more vulerable to illnesses. This would be part of a predisposing personality. The fact that we can't seem to deal with some issues in a stronger or different way. I might get some slack for this. I don't know what others have gone through in their lives that have the RSDS.

Are you still working? I hope so but most can't with this. I didn't read wheather you were or not. I haven't worked since 91. It didn't start though from me having RSDS. I was getting sick in 87 but managed to keep working until I got Susan through School.

Hope you start feeling better.
