SO sorry to hear about everything you are going through right now, Amy! I really hope you feel better soon!

I've had health issues since I was a baby but they were only diagnosed when I was diagnosed with RSD at 12 years old. I have severe Hypermobility Syndrome. My joints bend a lot further than a 'normal' persons and the HMS has caused me to break bones and tear ligaments easily - PM Doctor thinks this may be why I developed RSD. I have RSD in my left leg, both arms and now possibly back. As a complication of that I have Dystonia (a movement disorder) and POTS. POTS is a blood pressure condition and can cause me to faint a lot!

Docs aren't sure whether I have RSD in my back as I have a condition called Scheurmann's Disease. It causes the discs in my back to herniate and my back is also curved. There's nothing they can do to treat it i've been told !

Just wanted to say you aren't alone and that I and many others on here know how frustrating it is dealing with lots of health conditions. I really wish we didn't have to and that I could relieve each and every single one of your pains!

Take care and feel better soon!
Alison
