Thank you all for caring, and sharing your deep insight into some of the far corners of this place where rsd takes us.

I'm never going to resign but I do know I need to more acceptance of this place I find myself.

I've been fighting the need to use a cane. On one side I know it will help take the pressure off the physical aspect of my RSD on the other side it has a huge psychological effect on me.

Fear is a powerful emotion that needs to be managed. Sure therapy can help but I think this support group is awesome, we all rise to the challenge to help each other and that is very special.

Functionality is my daily goal. Pacing myself will get me there. If I can keep exercising I know I can win, even better if I can do it without my extra meds. It's not always possible but I guess I can still look at it as a win if I can keep moving and keep it warm.

I thank you all for giving me so great food for thought. I enjoy reading your all your replies.

Allan we are kindred spirits, I just go too, damn the pain I love to travel.
