Hello Everyone!! My name is Tina for the ones who do not know me, I too suffer from RSD. I too have been here and there dealing with appointments and had the blues lately. I know this time of year gets everyone upset. That cold weather sure flares up my RSD. Halloween will be here before we know it, then X-mas!! Such a stressful time of year!!!! Im so sorry everyone, Ive been reading all the things everyones been going thru, here lately. Even if I dont get a chance to respond ,youall are still in my thoughts and prayers. I was just gonna let some of youall know that sometimes you just got to stop and take a breath or two .It took me awhile to realize that I needed too! I am Thankful that this horrible disease is not one that where I was gonna
loose my life. For the simple fact I have 2 children and 2 g-children,and I can still be here for them in so many ways!!! It took me a while to figure out what I could do and cant do. Course we like to keep our house cleaned up, well at one time I could get a lot of things done in one day. Now it may take me several days, but so what if it takes that long thats how we have to learn to do it!!! Also, I went thru some things as isolating my self away from everyone and anything. WeLL alls that did was cause me more problems! So I decided its time for me to change a few things, I started getting out early in the mornings and going for a walk, it was so peaceful and beautiful.Sure helped me get rid of those love handles that I needed to get rid of! But , its true you have to find things that keep your mind busy. You also might just find out what kind of other gifts you have, that GOD gave you and you didnt know that gift tell now. I have a wonderful doctor
that takes great care of me,it is so important to find you a doc that knows EVERYTHING about this RSD. My doctor says also that those of us that suffer the RSD actually we need alot more rest and sleep, and im talking at least 10 hours or more. So some maybe should try to rest your body more because we get exhausted faster. Well, Ill quit ramblin on for now!! EVERYONE hang in there!! MAY GOD BLESS EVERYONE AND OUR FAMILIES!!! Your friend, Tina
