Ru Ready......i would like to say hello to a fellow ex-firefighter!!!!!!! I am a 27 yr old female w/ RSD since 4/10/07 that was working as a FF & also in a medical office when I got RSD. The RSD is in my entire right arm/hand/shoulder/back, and my right foot, stomach, & heart. My injury is unknown, but being a 5'2'' female FF, I was very hard on my body so theres no telling what I did.

I am in a bad flare right now....I've tried everything....nothing has worked...so I am just on ALOT of meds......I miss being a firefighter every single day...it meant so much to me!!!! I rode with the guys on New Years Eve just for fun bc I was having a really good day, RSD wise, at least for me....i was out of mmy wheelchair for short distances. I got to help pack patients up for EMS & run some medical calls. I could only use my left hand...so my help was limited....but I was happy just to be back in the action.

Take care my fellow FF....I hate that u have to suffer w/ this horrible disease, but its nice to see another FF that may understand what it is like to lose that part of your life....it's so much more than a job, but a way of life.

Nice to meet you!! Sorry it is under these circumstances though. Look forward to getting to know you....take care & feel free to ask me any questions!!!
