Hi. I am sorry for all your pain and having to face this on your own. I live alone but do have a mom who is my hope and strength and can't imagine not. I am here for you though anytime. I am a older 31 but have lost most of my friends due to this. I know how even 1 support can help one hold to hope. I have been to see Dr Stanton Hicks and know a girl who is actually I thnk 17 who he implanted her scs. For many years she was off school and in a wheel chair due to rsd now after many failed treatments she is out of the wheel chair in school etc. Please hang in there and take one day at a time. Even if it means taking 1 hour at a time.
