I've had RSD for 8 years now, but and have definitely noticed some of the impairments you all describe. I do not seem to suffer as much, though - and I wonder whether that's due to the fact that I've been treated for severe ADD since I was 8.

When I don't take my ADD meds, I can't concentrate, hold a thought pattern, engage with people well...anything. I wonder now how much of that is my RSD and how much is my ADD!
