Dear Breezy55,
I am so very sorry to hear about your mother being so ill. One of the worst things for people with chronic pain is stress...it causes havoc on your body. Talk to your mom. When people are unconscious they can usually hear us talking so talk to her as if you would all the time. You need to say things before she passes as everyone usually feels better that they have spoken to people before they pass. It is part of the grieving process. I know I have had a harder time with those that passed quickly. I will keep your mom and you (and your family) in my prayers each night. PLEASE take care of yourself.

I know rsd will get to you but you need to cry or scream or whatever you need to do (a quiet dark room always calms me down and I pray) to get it out of you. Then, you can go back to just trying to survive with rsd.

Update on dentist...I had my teeth cleaned last week (bad pain for days) and have three small cavities that must be filled. One of my two teeth needing root canal is really causing alot of pain lately and I took some penicillin the last two days and it seems to be relieving it for a bit. I will keep you in my prayers tonight.
