To Classic Lady Bug,
I too have a perfect body mold in my couch, I have RSD going on 8 years, the first 6 of that I went thru a bunch of different mental barrier's.
I had a wonderful counsoler who was great at helping me into a new lifestyle...as we both know the old way of life has to change exactly like it was...but you can get pretty close. My counsoler had me write down all of the things I couldnt do any more, then, she had me write down thinks I can still do and new things I have learned to do. When I have a good day, I take full advantage of it, when I have a bad day I rest in that body mold in my couch and find a good movie or program. I have a handicapped license plate, I need it sometimes when I cannot feel of control my legs...I dont give a dam who dosent like it...just shows their ignorance....besides, those parking places are wide and no one door dents my car any more! There is a positive for every situation. I couldnt go back to school either but I can volenteer at a retirement home somedays. Im sure your doctor has told you that stress,anger and anxiety all 3 cause higher pain levels. Learn to control these feelings or they will control you, if you cant do it by your self...get some help, I did!
Most of all...I feel your pain and everything else you feel so "I understand" almost everyone here does.
