Thank you so much, Cindi! Your kind words really touched my heart!

My RSD, which was causing SMP (Sympathetically Maintained Pain) is now causing SIP (Sympathetically Independent Pain). This is the reason why my anesthesiologist said my pain had "centralized". According to him, I now also have Central Pain Syndrome! One more chronic pain condition to deal with, added to my RSD, osteoarthritis, etc.

I hope your RSD pain will never centralize! It is already not fun having RSD and its pain in an extremity; if the pain has to be in the spinal cord, in the brainstem, and in the brain because the pain became centralized, it is worse because, from there, it could spread anywhere in the body! My anesthesiologist finally admitted the truth to me because I prefer the truth, even if it is bad, than lies or hidden truths!

Thanks again for your kindness, Cindi! You made my day!
