I've seen that before. IMO, they need to take anything saying RSD and rare in the same sentence down. It's not rare at all and it's only the lack of awareness of it which keeps people thinking it's "rare". Up to 8 million people in the US alone have RSD. I've not seen any stats worldwide but I would say that puts it in the double digit millions at the very least! Why can't someone get some real hard numbers out there like they do with cancer and MS, etc? Maybe one day.

Hugs,

Karen
