Having support with family and friends is very important. There are more and more support groups available for you and your family and friends. I suggest you seek one out to assist you in your area. I have three in my local area and have help at one of them from one of our members. She has posted and we both are welcome to your writing us so we may help you adjust your life and maintain the pain and discomfort you are experiencing. Please hold on to hope - I do feel there is a cure brewing. Hold on to faith - and know please there are organizations such as the RSDSA out there to help you through this.
