Hi Tracy,

I love the poem and agree with every word of it - you have done a great job!!!

I agree with what Pete said though, I think that some non RSD'ers might think that we are trying to 'compete' and say that our pain is a lot worse than theres. I know that we aren't at all but some people think that sometimes no matter how many times we tell them we aren't.

We don't claim to know what someone else endures with a condition that we don't have, just like others shouldn't compare their pain to RSD.

Overall though, I think you did a great job and really got the word out about RSD! Thanks for sharing your poem with us!

Hugs, Alison.
