Re: [RSDSupport1] Re: Need someone to talk to!

Janice - I'm so sorry to hear about your husband. You have so much on your
plate. I am home almost all the time, and I am very willing to lend an ear.
Please let me know how I can help you.

Kind regards,

Sandy

Help - I need someone to talk to too - I have full blown RSD for 7 years now in
right hand and arm and 8 weeks ago, my husband was diagnosed with a malignant
brain tumor - my RSD has flared like you wouldnt believe, and I am unable to do
anything for myself to care for the pain, as I have to drive him to/from doctors
appointments, to/from pharmacy, to/from radiation and chemotherapy, and have to
fully take care of him at home.
I am crying inside 99% of the time - I cant cry in front of him because he gets
extremely emotional and feels so horribly guilty for putting this on me.
I am talking to a psychologist, but I wished I could have her to talk to every
day - I go once a week and sometimes in between times, I feel like I am going to
burst.

Hi There! My name is Christy and I have had RSD for almost six months

now. It started with me falling off the front porch and breaking my

3rd metatarsil in both feet. I have great tallent in doing no

brainers lol.

Anyways, I know what you are talking about with being frusterated with

your spouce. When I first broke them, my husband told me that I'm not

as incapable as I thought. (I was in the tub crying cause I couldnt

get out) I was ticked and ready to leave him. It took my parents

comming for a visit and they went with me to the dr the day I was

diagnosed with RSD. He has been supportive since. My parents didnt

know that he was being an ass. And they were very upset as was I when

we got back from the DR. He knew then that I was going up against

something that was going to be a challange.. I have been very

thankful since that day. He really has been on the same page with

me... Anyways, Yes, there is someone out there that understands what

you are going through. I have been there and am still going through

it. Hang in there. The depression sucks.. I battle it every day. I

dont take meds for it. I just keep a journal and vent!!!! Hang in

there and get ahold of me if youd like.... I am house bound too!



Hugs,

Christy
