My concern is there statement of others hurting you by accident. This is scary enough for a person without rsd but with rsd and how sensitive we are it is a really big risk. I know everyone with this does things different but I fear getting brushed at the grocery store so that would be a huge concern. As for a different school now and friend concerns I am sorry again. I know that friends my age at 30 are clueless on how to handle my condition in support form. When in reality all I want is a check in or a simple call. Please hang in there and see what a strong and amazing young lady you are. I hope things look up soon

Thank you Daniella for your support and ideas - it means a lot!!!!
My mum asked the college tutor whether it would be possible for me to get my own placements seeing as I have contact within the hospital and seeing as my mum works for the youth club and they said that that should be OK but I would probably have the same problems and that they might not want me to do any placements because of my RSD. My mum has got in touch with my childrens hospital though to see whether it would be a possibility so I am hoping that they will get back to us soon - I have an appt with them Tuesday and Wednesday anyhow so will discuss things with them then.
When my mum told the tutor about me getting my own placements, she had the cheek to ask my mum if she could get them more placements also so that they wouldn't have to find their own!! I couldn't believe it when she said that!
My mum has to call them back on Tuesday and is going to ask whether it would be possible for me to go and meet up with the employees that deal with the placements to see whether they would be able to accept me. There is a similar course that I could do with less placements that the tutor suggested but there are no places left on it.
Thank you again for the support and i'll keep you all updated!!
