I'm wondering if you are on any antidepressants? Or medication for anxiety?

My RSD started post surgery. I was already on cymbalta for nerve pain and my PMD increased me to the max dose around the time if my RSD diagnosis. I have found it to be helpful for both the pain and depression from dealing with the pain. This is not to say I never get depressed or feel helpless. Some medications can be used to help anxiety and other symptoms as well...so you don't need to just have an anxiety Med added and then something else for say...shocking type pain. Not sure if that makes sense.

I feel for you with your fiance being supportive.

I have been lucky to have my parents, sister and a really great friend who are supportive in helping with shopping, house and yard work and are also emotionally supportive.

I hope things get better for you.
