Good Morning,

I'm new to this group and thought I should give some background on myself. 2 1/2 years ago I was given a shot for a migrane. The shot hit a nerve and that is what started the RSD. The affected area started at the hip region and since has spread two both legs from the hip to my toes. I was not correctly diagnoised until six months ago and therefore the diagnoises in itself was one of the worse struggles of my life. I have tried what it seems like every medicine and nerve blocks and I still cant get comfterable in my own body for the majority of the time.
I try to stay positive, and I still am working as a public accountant in a very fast paced, high demands career. The doctors tried to get me to leave my job but I refuse to let go of one main things that gives me a purpose.
Looking to share my story and hear about others so that we can learn from one another and fight this horrible disease together. Strength in numbers, right?
