Hi Breezy,
Just wanted to check in and say hello. You are dealing with so much, your mom and dad's health, while you yourself have RSD. I lost my Mom at 46 and am so grateful I could be with her the last few months. And my Dad at 59 and got to be with him a couple of years. I know how difficult it is, but not from the prospective of having RSD and caring for them. Are you on any antii-anxiety meds? This is one that has helped me.
But since my Dr. changed my sleeping med, he cut the anti-anxiety med in half and I have been able to decrease my vicodin also. He is doing a study for the pharmaceutical company-seroquel is the sleep aid. Ambien wasn't working and I wasn't able to go to sleep until 5-6 in the morning. I'm not in the study, he is almost done with it. He said that wasn't acceptable and played a big part in my pain, and general health.
I hope you are take some time for yourself each day. I know that's difficult, but important. Thinking of you every day. Your friend, loretta

Once again thanks to all for thinking about me and my Parents. This whole group on this RSD site is so caring. It seems the best way that I seem to cope is by just talking to my close friends and also trying to do pilates and swim as much as I can. As far as anti-anxiety meds,I cannot take them. My Dr has tried to put me on different ones however I always have some kind of different reaction to them. We all have to cope with what is going on in our lives in one way or another. Every day I thank God for the small kernel of determination-and the support of my friends-who helped find and free the rainbow during that stormiest of times. (Sharon M Chamberlain)

That is a nice quote and though things still sound hard it sounds like you are holding to hope. I know you will get through. Many thoughts
