My neurologist says no pills. Now what he means is, Change you life around, lower your stress level, manage your life so you can live within boundaries where you are using pills as the only answer.

He wants me to live the fullest life I can without being depending on the meds. You are right Pete, a pill will not cure bad behavior, or allow us to do more than we should without consequences.

Knowing my own body, my limitations, my responsibilities to maintain proper diet, sleep and exercise, rest and meditation are my best tools in my medicine chest along with a doc who knows RSD/CRPS and is willing to work with you as an individual.

But I need to know myself the consequences of the choices I make and decide if I am willing to suffer the cost. I think you need to get one of those extended reacher contraptions Pete, and stay out from under the desk.

I walked for an hour in a fabric store instead of riding the cart, not a good decision. Accepting my limitations has been hard for me, but I am getting there.

Blessed Easter to all
