Hi there,
I completely understand how you feel, as I am going through that myself. I just lost another job, and coincidentally, just weeks after they found out about my RSD. I too am finding a new home on my couch. The depression is extreme and my family is little to no help - no one really understands and its probably better that they don't. Can you imagine how your family and friends would feel is they knew how the pain really felt? Imagine how the doctors would immediately pay attention to us if they knew what we were really going through? I swear only my dog has the compassion and patience to sit with me through a flare-up, and that is only because he thinks he is going to be pet soon.
I have found some relief through this support group that I am not the only one out there who is going through this. I hope every day that I have been misdiagnosed, and pray that I have fewer flare-ups than yesterday. I've been told that people have me in their prayers - you would think that He would've heard them by now. I don't know how much longer I can continue like this.
There is one thing that keeps returning to my thoughts: don't we put suffering animals out of their misery? Why don't we do this for humans? I now understand what Dr. Kevorkian was doing by assisting people commit suicide. I also understand why California legalized marijuana - none of my medications are strong enough.
Ok, enough babbling. Basically, I'm saying that you're not the only one feeling like this, and hopefully this helps you. We're in this together, and I hope soon there is a cure.
Good luck to you -
Meri
