And MAYBE they have told her it is RSD but it could also be Central Pain and on and on it goes. But it DOES appear, at least as of late, that she is NOT acting as loopy or fidegty. So, perhaps the injections are working or whatever it is she is doing. But Vicc is right...she does appear to be moving on and enjoying her life. So, what she is doing or taking seems to be working for her. In my own opinion, I can see a difference for the better...at least so far.

Hi Kath49
It is great if she is moving on with her life I don't think any of us would wish otherwise.
I sure don't know her but I do know what I have seen and I don't believe drugs or pain could be responsible for her promiscuous behaviour with a contestant on American Idol.
If this is who she is and has no problem with her behaviour, then nobody should caste judgement on her as it is her business BUT I think, as the discussion was should we support her as a spokesperson for RSD seeing she is so exposed in the media , then I don't believe that she represents the disease in a positive manner based on all the negative publicity she has aquired over the last few years.
Her publicity machine is definitely working however--I bet she would never have expected to be a topic of conversation on an International Forum on Neurology.
Bless her in her life, I wish her health and happiness,but just not as my role model for this disease.
Love Tayla
