RSD has totally taken over my life, doing the things I used to could do is now simply out of the question.
Other than the pain I would say the depression is playing a major role in my life. The couch has became my new best friend. My family does not understand what I am going through they tell me to just work through the pain. I started going back to school but I find that I can't write my assignments without my hand flareing up. My stimulator is the only thing that has kept me from going in same but my right hand does still have flare ups. The depression got so bad last semester that I ended up dropping all of my classes.
My family had a cow but they don't know what I am going through. I am 35 years old and have RSD in my hip and in my right upper extremity. I can't go into a store without a basket to help me walk. My dr. percribed me a handicapped sticker but evertime I use it I get dirty looks from everyone like I shouldn't be parked there. My anxiety is out of control. Is there anyone out there who feels this way??
