I can relate. RSD has got me to the point that I am using a wheelchair. Sometimes when the pain is doable a quade cane.
This monster we're stuck with is quite hard to deal with for sure!!!!_

Welcome jcody, Glad you found the forum. How long have you had RSD? I've had this since '96 and now full body. Have found great comfort and support here. So much experience and sharing of coping skills, shared information etc. I'm sure you will find the same support. Take care, loretta

Thanks for the welcome Loretta. Trying to chat using my Kindle Fire is a bit hard but it's all I pesently got.

It is a big step to have to have assistance of any kind. I can relate. I am currently using an electric wheelchair. It has made my life so much better, though I am self-conscious when I use it. I figure I can either use my energy and pain tolerance basket to navigate to where I want to be on foot then be exhausted and in pain, or I can use the chair and have plenty left in the basket to participate and have fun. Hmmmm. I'll use the chair.

Before the chair I used a walker. Today, I'd opt for the rollator.

I am facing loosing my drivers license. I don't drive much anyway due to the meds, but being told that I can't drive just rubs me the wrong way. That is really taking a bite out of my independence.
