One of the most difficult part for me thus far is family who do not comprehend my pain therefore are not very supportive. Luckily my Mother and Step Father have been amazingly supportive to me. My Mother is who actually found this site for me! I have already read through the survival kit thread, found it very helpful. Wish you all a pain free holiday weekend!
Welcome crpslouisa! You are not alone in dealing with family who doesn't understand. My wife has RSD and it the oldest of 8 siblings. Only one out of the bunch keeps in contact with my wife. All I can say is flood them with as much information about RSD as you can.
