Keep smilin I think you hit something that they were teaching me at the clinic I went to is learning to create a new life with rsd and find joy even though it is hard. We may not be able to do some things but can do others. It is finding that I guess. I agree this is such a warm family here.
Sandy I give you so much credit. Having to work through this condition must be so hard. You have a lot on your plate and you are a strong person. I am scared too. I am just going to try to figure a way to live in a calmer fearful state.
Aintsobad I think you have the outlook of being positive that I don't have. I know there are people worse and I feel for them truly. I think regardless though of someone else being worse or better this condition impacts ones life so bad. I often say things can be worse but it does not take away from the suffer now.
I applaud those who can continue their lives with this thing. I do know how difficult it is to deal with the disease and a normal life.

But there are many things you just can't do any longer or become chores. I had trouble just putting on my work shoes or peeling an orange. Now I buy oranges in a bottle.

Everyone has to adapt and part of adapting is finding things to take the place of what was lost. I doubt this is an easy process for anyone but it's something we all need to do to the best of our ability.

We must laugh in the face of terror. During the blitz of London in WW II people got used to be bombed everyday. They'd picked themselves up and dust off and then go back to carrying on with their lives. The major difference is we have to dust ourselves off just right or we'll be in more pain.
