Hello. Great thread. Sorry I haven't said "hi" and welcome here yet.
I wanted to say that you are not alone.
What smtac and Heidi said is great- keep on talking to others with RSD. You can find many yahoo groups, message boards, etc... It helps to talk to others who KNOW. I know how much it has helped me. There are people who understand EXACTLY what you are going through.
I am also a teen with RSD. It is hard, but we're gonna get through it!!!

Sending many gentle ((hugs)) to you.
Good posts, everyone! You have really encouraged me. I liked your post, Hubby (HubbyWithRSD)...
Hang in there everyone!
