Hi Cosmicmama,

 I feel exactly like that! I have my good days and I take full advantage of them...but! I pay the next day or so. I have RSD in my arms n hands, my fore arms are atrophied quite a bit and by bicepts have shrunk considerably. I was a very strong and athletic man before RSD, I am 55 years old and have had RSD for 8 years now, I feel like I am 90! I do love those good days, just not getting as many as I used to and now I am starting to have all kinds of other medical problems like sleep apnia,degenerative disc disease in my spine. A couple of months ago I slightly hyperextended my right knee,with in a week it was so swolen I couldnt walk. Then one morning I woulke up because it was very painful to breath...blood clots had formed in my right calf righ below the injured knee and the clots went into both lungs....I got lucky, Im still here to post. From what I read here we all suffer with many of the same symptoms. So breath deep and relax when you can, that helps me a lot!
