Shandi: You are very lucky that you are not facing this alone. I have had RSD for over eight years now and I am now a single mom of three grown boys. However they were younger when I first had this ugly dx thrown upon me. I know that someown else said on this post that (I think it was there,children or family) Did not even want to understand what RSD is all about? Well that is what my three boys have done. It just rips my heart out! I thought after they got older this would all change and maybe they would have some different thoughts about what I was going thru. Even my oldest who has my only grandson is the worst one. He will not even call me,I have to see my grandson thru his wife. Shandi-just never let a day go by that you do not hold,love,encouraged and share your dreams with your children! All of us have a secret self that needs to be encouraged and shared with those we love. You will do fine just smile and be your self! Love To Your Family... Breezy55
