I'm so sorry that you have been having such a rough time. I think the emotional triggers are the hardest ones for us to control and they can cause such havoc with our RSD. I feel like I am constantly coaching myself to not let certain things get to me, to not get stressed out about things, etc. Most of the time it works but sometimes you just can't escape it. Especially when it comes to work. I am really excited to go back and looking forward to it...but I also know that if I take a laid back easy going approach that some may interpret that as me not caring...which would not be the case. I am not looking forward to the stuggle to balance my medical needs for limited stress and the stressful nature of my job.

Take care and let us know how things go with the doctor. It's good to rule out other stuff...but it's always good to remember how important it is to not let yourself get stressed (if at all possible). I hope you start to feel better soon.
