Welcome!

You will find this a great place to be!!

May I mention one thing? Many of us have had the RSD affect our eyes. I know I have. Even without the RSD making my eyes alternately blurry and sharp and sometimes jittery... I already was extremely nearsighted, needing very strong contact lenses - plus trifocal glasses over them.

Reading all caps, or initial caps (like your messages are typed), or type that is colored red, orange, purple, blue etc... is very difficult for many of us. It is much easier for me to read if a person types in all lower case rather than initializing every word.

Usually I will take a message like yours and copy it into another program and convert the text. I have a little utility on my Mac that I copy text into that will turn all caps, Initial caps, etc... into "sentance case" so I can read it easier so that helps on the messages when people type in all caps too. I don't know if there is something similar for Windows.

Some people that use certain colors for their type - I cannot read their posts at all here on the forum. Standard black type is still easiest for me to read. If they post something I really want to read, I copy their words into another program, then change the type color to read it.

But, if you are using voice software to type, that is fine. We will figure it out.

I know you will find this forum very helpful to you! Most of us used to belong to another forum. When I found it - I began to get a grasp on my RSD. I knew what to ask for, what to turn down etc. when seeing the Dr., therapist etc.

Welcome! So sorry you had to find your way here..meaning that you have RSD/CRPS.... but this is the best place on the net I have found. I think I am a member of 5 or 6 forums, but this is "home".... !
