Heidi, I'm glad I read thru the entire thread before posting back to you because I was ready to defend myself. Certainly I did NOT mean to offend you or anyone else. Quite honestly, I think my RSD may be spreading, but more in a "creeping" sort of way, and I wanted to know if I was overreacting. That's all. I tended to do that in the past whenever I felt a "twinge" and I wanted to make sure I wasn't doing that now that I felt a "creep."

Yes, sometimes an emotion is difficult to convey on a messageboard, and I am thankful to those of you who know me well enough to explain the message I was trying to get across...as well as to those of you who shared your story and information.

Heidi, I would NEVER offend purposely. Truly I wouldn't. There is nothing about this disease that is to be taken lightly, there are no stupid questions, and there is no way I would ever in this lifetime purposely hurt a new poster. If you were even offended for the SLIGHTEST moment, I apologize.

Hugs
LisaM
