Hi welcome to Neurotalk,
I am so sorry about everything that you are going through ((hugs))
Please let me introduce myself:
My name is Alison, I am 12 years old (nearly 13) and I suffer from RSD in my left leg and right arm. I first developed RSD in my foot on the 16th March 2007 after an ankle sprain, I was diagnosed with CRPS/RSD type 1 4 months later.
I was later prescribed Amitriptyline by my PM doctor to try and help me sleep, but I suffered from a nasty side effect of "blurred vision" this resulted in a knock to my right arm, I was diagnosed with RSD 2 weeks later.
It is hard for anyone to understand what an RSD patient is going through. I am having real trouble explaining to my grandma and grandad about RSD, but thankfully I have a great and supportive mom who helps me a LOT.
I am unable to go to school due to pain and mobilty issues, I am starting online tutoring soon. I miss playing sports a lot.
If you need anything, don't be afraid to ask. I will try and help you if I can.
Take care
Love
Alison
