So glad I am not alone. He has the flu so you know wht that is like. My pain
meds are just not right I am having too much breakthrough pain. I am still able
to drive so he has not had to taken over with the driving however I go back to
the Pain Dr. the 16 and something has got to be done . I would gladly give up my
driving rights to have less pain. I have the RSD in both my lower legs and feet
and the toes. I'll keep an eye out for you since I go to college on line. Only
three classes to go and I will have done it and I don't know how. Since I can't
remember things anymore. I feel like this RSD is trying to take over me
completely. At least I can still laugh and I thank you for that.

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
