Hi,

I am 21 and have full body RSD after an accident when I was 16. I am now in a wheelchair and all that rubbish. I am at university now and it is very hard, but I love it! I am only a first year but it has taken most of that to get used to being independent (well, I have live in carers) and managing this. The work load is very hard to deal with, as is the fogginess.

I don't have the answers, but I just wanted to say I have been there and I know how tough it is, even now, to deal with the workload. Also, having to miss out on "fun" things is hard - whilst all my friends were at the summer ball I was in bed in tears with pain and frustration from having the RSD and a flare.

It is very very hard but she CAN get through it! If she wants to PM me I am happy to give you my email address if she wants to chat about it.

Much love
