HEY! itll be okay i promise... most of us, if not all, know how you feel and were here to support you! I remember how emotional distraught and confused i was when i was first diagnosed and how confused i was by the after math of the injury, it was absolutely terrified too... not to be dreary or upsetting but the reality of it is that chances are the pain isnt gonna go away and youre probly never gonna get used to it (such was the case with me). itll creep into other parts and itll be the biggest and most painful pest youve ever dealt with BUT that shouldnt EVER stop you you just have to laugh and smile and when the pain gets at its worst you just gotta lean on the person closest to you.
And unfortunately hun, people will never understand or be able to realte with the things that are happenning to you and thats okay, be glad that they dont have to, it would suck if everyone on earth was falling all over the place due to RSD pain, it would be RIDICOOOOLOUS and barely anything would get done. As a result to people not understanding theyll probly walk away and leave you but who cares?! if they leave then they werent worth your time in the first place. if they leave then it means that the person isnt strong enough to support themselves and, let alone you!
As a final note ill say something that occurred to me and it may mean nothing to you but oh well, RSD is a weird and fairly rare (numbers are increasing) disease/disability and because its so weird there arent many cures or fixes, which in all honesty REALLY SUCKS. but if i were to be diagnosed with any chronic pain syndrome thats uncureable id want it to be RSD because its so obscure and unknown... wen i tell people whats wrong with me and they go "WWHHHAAAAA?" it makes me smile. The disease sucks like no other but im as proud as i can be to have it....... now if only i could get it to go awaaayyyy............
hope this meant something! <3 it was both advice and personal venting
