Yes, Jan I have... as a matter of fact I am still... I have RSD in my right
foot, leg, possibly hip and lower back. I am housebound, no driving, no working
for me. I walk with a cane, and my doc has suggested a walker, because I fall
sometimes. My step dad (closer than my dad) had liver cancer... and I went
through that. I know it's not the same as a husband, but I loved him. If I can
help at all, just write... if you just want to vent, please write... and I WILL
respond. You have a penpal for as long as you want/need. God Bless you both.

Kind regards,

Sandy

Sandy - thank you so much - emailing me would be wonderful, to be able to talk
.......
even talking on the phone is difficult because I am hardly ever able to just sit
and talk - emailing is so much easier for me -
Have u gone thru a similar situation 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.

gets extremely emotional and feels so horribly guilty for putting this on me.

burst.
