That is wonderful to hear Dan. I sometimes feel almost normal...at least mentally. The more function I have gotten back the better this has gotten. The pain never leaves me though and I always have to go through all my exercises and treatments to just be able to function. But when I leave the house and go out or do house work or whatever I feel so much MORE normal than I did when I was trapped in the house for so long not able to stand or walk at all...not able to drive or hardly get off the couch, etc. I feel much better now that I can do a lot more things (even if there's still a lot pain) and I can wear more normal clothes and shoes, etc. It's such a mental boost for me to have a greater sense of normalcy back in my life now. But like alt...RSD has never really taken a break for me for any period of time at all. But sometimes I do get breaks where the swelling is not as bad or some of the other (non pain) symptoms are less. Those are really good days.
