Me and My RSD
By RSD RENEE

One night when I went out to my car
I fell on ice and broke my wrist
My husband drove me not too far
To a hospital through fog and mist

The pain increased and swelling too
My wrist turned bright red and then bright blue
It stiffened up and atrophied
I wondered what had happened to me

Then my doctor told me one fateful day
That I had RSD and it was here to stay
I felt so numb and that it was unreal
It felt untrue and so surreal

When finally my shock wore off
I took my pills and nerve blocks too
And realized my life had changed
Into constant pain my whole life through

But I cling onto hope
That a cure will come
That it will be soon
From someone

And my life will be
Like it was before
And my RSD
Will be no more.
