Stacey, I am so sorry that you have had such a rough time lately. There are no

words really that I can say to comfort you but you will survive this RSD just

like we are. I get discouraged and depressed but I do not want this RSD to ever

win and by killing myself it wins. We all gotta fight until they find something

out there that works for us all. If you ever need to talk call me 318/387-9645.

I have found that when I am at my lowest point I get better when I talk to

someone in the group. Everyone cares and we all have similar situations that we

have experienced or might in the future. I hope that this Christmas you can find

the things you have to be thankful for. One thing is all of us in the group, we

care. You are never alone and when a loved one dies their memories will always

be there and you will never lose them. Try to concentrate on the good times and

the reason for the holidays. Write or call if you need me. I will be glad to

listen. I do not want you to get back in that kind of depression, have the

doctors regulated your meds. I think mine are now. I am taking Wellbutrin XL300

mg, Klonopin1.0mg(at night), and one other that I can't remember right now. We

all experience depression but you have had more than your share of problems.

Continue to fight this RSD. I will remember you and your family during the

holidays. God bless. Love, Debbie from Louisiana
