Strange, Debbie, that you have so many people around you with RSD! I had never heard of it, neither did any of my family, neighbors, church family, friends... and some of my drs./ physical therapists didn't know what it was either! Oh, one exception- a friend had it, but he has been in remission for 12 years, after battling it for 13 months!

Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome (RSD), also known as Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is a chronic pain syndrome characterized by severe and relentless pain that affects between 200,000 and 1.2 million Americans.

I had the opposite question: how do so many Americans have RSD, and so many people that I know have no clue about it, and they've never heard of anyone with it?!
