In 2002 she fell and broke her wrist in which she acquired RSD. For four years she was not treated for it even though RSD was peppered thru out her records. Doctors claimed she was nuts etc., gave her advil for pain. Her employers made her life miserable. Same old story for many with RSD. The RSD spread into her other arm, her neck, lower back then both legs and feet. About 2.5 years ago we finally found doctors that would treat her immediately after her termination and my employer's insurance kicked in. In the beginning of the pain in her feet her toe nails started to grow abnormally. They became very thick and started to grow out of her toes at a 30 degree angle, every one of them. Sometime later the swelling started. This lasted for many months if not a year.
