Hi Cricket,
It is so nice to meet you and welcome to our little club for RSDers. It's not the best type of club but this is the best place to get information and support as all of us are basically in the same boat...struggling to get through life with a bit of humor and on a wing and a prayer!

We have lots in common...I've had RSD since Feb 2005 which spread from a foot to fullbody within four months (and internally too), have tried everything under the son, have a 21 year old son, have worked with geneticists too since my son was technically not supposed to be here and is my miracle child (oh, and he plays the drums too), I love to write also, I have a cat named Tigger (AKA: BooBoo) who is 8 years old and a Chihuahua/Pomeranian mix (but 90%+ Chihuahua) named Buddy who is two years old. My
three boys (Joe, BooBoo, and Buddy) are the joys of my life that keep me going. I pray alot and am now having a Christian faith healer from my church who is gradually healing my body along with God (Amen for that) and I try to laugh out loud at least once a day. It helps to keep the pain down and helps me to forget my problems. I am glad to meet you and welcome to our little club. This is a great place for support and love.
Take care,
kathy d
