Dear Annie Poo,

Welcome to our community. I'm sorry that your rsd has brought you here but as everyone will tell you you have found the right place to share and learn as we travel the rsd journey through cyberspace together. I'm happy for you that your lawsuit is settled, that will help you to move forward and reduce stress.

I too am in the long term management phase so I totally relate to your position right now. It will be 7 years for me next month. I have lots to be optimistic about as well and on the days when I get overwhelmed and bogged down with my pain I try to focus on just that. Thanks for the positive reminder.

MsL
