You don't say how long you have been sick. i think that there is a point during the first several years where sometimes it seems like we start to flare out of control. and it takes a while to get a handle on the combo of meds, treatments, PT, psych, etc that we need to learn to live with this beast...
Try to get to the very best RSD doc that you can. For me, that has been a certified PM/anesthesiologist. The neuros in RI that I consulted happen to suck when it comes to RSD. Everyone is different.
I've learned there is a very definite limit on what I can do. I go to bed early every night, so that I can get up early in the morning. working full time is the only commitment I generally make during the week, with few exceptions. weekends I spend with my husband and neighborhood friends, but I never stay out late anymore, and I take a nap both days. And I try to walk 3 to 5 miles a day for my RSD.
Good luck, and hang in there, xoxox. Sandy
