Anger seems to be the emotion that arises most these days. I'm over sadness, fear, and all the accompanyng emotions that come with disease and illness. I can't say that I am angry this happened to me because of all the indispensale lessons I have learned, but I am angry that it's not over yet and that I am in this state of limbo trying to find remission.
When I am feeling this way, I usually recognize it, talk to someone about it, and let it run it's course. It only takes minutes for me to get back to reality and live the day. I spent too many days being angry, sad, and fearful when this first happened to me several years ago. I wasted a year and a half of my life...maybe even more. Now, that is something to be sad about.
Don't miss any moments of joy. The past is the past. Move forward.

I lost 2 yrs of my life to RSD. I don't remember a thing. That was 2 of my daughters birthdays, my husbands birthdays, Christmas, Easter....you get the drift. My doctors think it was a combination of pain, shock (something like shell shock the soldiers get)and anger I couldn't resolve. When I finally emerged, I vowed, never to let a single day go by again without being thankful for what I DO HAVE and not beating my head over what I have lost. Life is too short and it doesn't stop just because you do; it continues to roll on. I want to live! Yes, I have lost my arms and hands and my back is going fast, but look at all the parts I have left lol....Please try to get over the hump before it destroys you....
Love....from a fellow sufferer
