function like a human being?

I have had some bad days here lately. First due to my depression and I believe it's made worse by the Holidays, then pelvic pain and leg pain. I get one place calmed down and another starts.

My daughter is my caregiver. She helps me with housework, runs to get my meds and groceries on her days here.

I feel like I donot function like a normal human being. I can't invite people over for a meal because I don't feel I can cook for them. I am a good cook, that's not the problem. I really don't know how to describe the problem. It's just that I don't feel capable of doing the things I use to do, even the simplelist things.

Some of my Drs. have described me as being different from normal people and I really don't know if it's the RSD or something else that I have. My PCP wanted me to go to a Dr. in California that he thinks is good to see if they could figure things out but money is a problem for me and just traveling is. He has also mentioned the Mayo Clinic but I haven't heard good about them from people around here that have went there. He thinks this Dr. would be best and I can't remember his name either right now.

I'm just wondering, how any of you feel about doing simple task. I'm not saying due to the pain but due to the mental.

Thanks for any replies,
Ada
