Hi. I am hoping for you,myself and others that the rsd may be part of our lives but to a functioning level where there are much better days or even remission. We have to hold to hope though it is hard. I am in a flare so I am trying to self talk this. Even people without health condition starting school creates anxiety and fears. So with what you face with the rsd and the change with school it really is a bag of mixed emotions and stress. Hopefully your doctors will be able to work with you on apts. That is really tuff of the school cause even common things happen to people and they need to miss. I'm glad that the kids seem nice. I am hoping you will meet someone close people cause that will be a lifter in itself. Really I have no explanation for people as like I told you I have experienced the same with friends or so called ones. Try to take 1 day at a time. You can only do so much and to me you are doing amazing
