I have finally come to terms with the fact that I am having a problem dealing with my anger related to my RSD. I'm angry because the doctors have all but said that my case was caused by poor anesthesia for an elective knee surgery. I am the primary breadwinner and now I cannot work and the future is up in the air. I'm pushing to try anything to get better and may be not going through the normal course of things. I just have all of this pent-up anger that I don't know what to do with.
How do you deal with the unending anger? I can't go to a therapist-we are in such financial trouble that even copays are a problem. My husband is supportive, but there's nothing for him to do but keep on helping me as much as he can.
I am on antidepressants, but have been on them as a baseline. Tried Cymbalta, but had too many side effects. Currently on Lyrica and pain meds. Cannot do tricyclics due to the SSRI antidepressants that I am already on. I just feel like I'm going to burst or vomit sometimes and I can feel my leg just crawling. I have to do better than this, but need anger advice.
Thanks,
Lori Lee
