Ok whats sleep? Also I can't take any meds right now except a norco every now and then. I usually hurt but when I flare I feel like im going to go through the roof. This disease sucks royal boogers. I have found some sites for kids to explain to them about rsd. I have done the Epsom salt soaks and they help me a lkttle with inflammation. Sorry for bad speling.. its a bad night. No one that doesn't have this truly knows what its like. No I don't have someone coming in to help at my home. I can't afford it. My husband does most and I do what I can. Keep smiling. Your daughter is 11 shes acting like a normal preteen kiddo. Every thing is about them lol. I have dealt with that with cousins and a younger sister. Don't let it get to you. I use a cane when I go out and when I hurt really bad. Otherwise I hobble around. Crimeny now my right knee wants to act up. I have only been treated with a couple meds so far. Elavil and gabapentin. I hope this helps some and thank goodness for spel sheck.
