Thank you so much for sharing your story!
What a heartwrenching ordeal you've been through.
I'm so glad you decided to start a thread of your own....and I'm sure you've realized by now that we are like a family here. Before I knew of Neurotalk, the only place to get any feedback was searching endlessly online for information sites....very impersonal. RSD can be a very 'lonely' condition, as not many people comprehend what it is. Misunderstood - as you said.
I felt very alone when my battle started almost 7 years ago.
It'll be great to see your posts! You've got a very bright outlook, you are a fighter and a survivor.
Welcome! You've got friends!
