Dear Fatcat,

RSD/CRPS, is a frustrating neurological disorder/disease, that we deal with as it effects/affects all areas of our lives. Sometimes, it is a lonely existence having this culprit in one's life. I think we all have felt like that one time or another.

Pete, mrs.D, hopeful, and Sandy gave wonderful insight and information to you.

I found that since having RSD/CRPS, I have come to know myself so much better. Being in constant pain, my faith and ability to hope,as well as cope, has been tested. I also questioned the loving support around me, and now I understand that was more about me questioning myself (denial) concerning RSD, then it was about questioning the support from family and friends.

Welcome to the group. You are amongst friends and people that understand your pain and frustration. Also, these same folks understand that keeping active is the key to success. Reach out and you will find support and friendship,here.
