Hi there! You are definitely not alone in feeling this way. I am currently working full-time and I stay exhausted. I am 46 and have had RSD for 21 years now and I just don't think I can keep up any longer. It takes everything I have to make it through the workday. When I get home, I am already spent so I can't do anything else. I try to recoup the best I can on the weekends, but it doesn't really help. My RSD has spread so much in the last 2 yrs, so the pain levels stay pretty high. I think it is effecting my mind...meaning it is more difficult to process my thoughts, etc at work. I am not as sharp as I used to be. It is not medication causing this, because I am not on any for RSD. I am allergic to everything, so I only have some pain meds that I will only take on the weekend if I can't stand it anymore. I am so thankful for my husband as he now does the majority of the housework because I can't. We go to the grocery store together because I need his help.

It is very frustrating. Hope you get some relief soon.
