Nah not for me.... Pretty much I'm always in pain and it's pretty good cause I know it's still there but there are days when it's not as intense and I thank god for those few and to far between days and of course on those few days I feel just a smidgen better I go and do alittle bit more even if it's doing alittle bit of extra housework but by the end of the day... I'm ready to hang myself. It's nice to sort of feel as normal as I can.
 
I then suffer like you wouldn't believe for days after until it calms down.... I was lucky for awhile I could take my meds and then wait for them to kick in.  At night this is and then I could semi-stomach having my sheet on my left foot/leg but, lately I haven't been able to do that.... and while it was warmer out we had a fan on.... OMG!!!!  I can't take that to save my self... and being in public if people or small kids get to close I kringe they probabally think I'm nuts....
 
That reminded me of a story when I was in the dentist office and this woman, who and no control of her I'll say four year old daughter,  Okay so I'm sitting there and the room is full and very small,  there's no where for me to politely go, well in walks this woman and her four year old.... the kid dumps all these toys all over the floor and they of course hit my left foot.  I hold my breath and figure its a kid and she don't know what's wrong.... well then this little angel comes over and starts palying near me... I now have my foot tucked up under my chair as best as I can... Then the kids starts flinging toys all around... The mother never says anything and neither odes anyone else... well that's the begining of when I loose it!!! 
 
Cause the angel comes over and Sits yes I said sits on my foot... so I asked her to please not do that... the kids stuck her tongue out and me.  Her mother says she's such a brat... so I tell her mother that I have a condition called RSD and her daughter being so close to me is bothering me could she please ask her to move.  Her mother says to me what do you want me to do about it.  By this time this other woman is rolling her eyes at me about the two of them... So the mother does nothing and the kid is still whaling on me periodically...then the kid kicked me and I tell you I wanted to rip her arm off and slap her mother with it.....
 
but, I didn't I said to her mother.... if you don't control your child I'mgoing to douse you in lighter fluid and light you up and let you burn ....  WOW.... everyone freaked and looked at me like I was nuts.. . Then I said to her mother,  That way she would know what it felt like to me everytime her kid hit my leg.
 
 Finally she picked her kid up and went outside.... the woman who was sitting across from me clapped and told me you go girl!!!
 
I will admit it wasn't my finest moment but , my suttle hints went without notice.
So what was I supposed to do?

Just thought I'd share this with you.... I have another good story.  but I'll save it for another day.
