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.

while I do the same things you do. I am housebound due to RSD/CRPS in
my right foot, leg, hip and lower back. I've got plenty of time on my
hands and I can always use friends... feel free to write anytime.

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
