So sorry that you have to deal with this monster too. This site is a great place to get to know other people who really understand what you are going through, learn about new treatments, learn some little tricks that everyone uses to try to make our lives more bearable, and even just to vent to people who are understanding and supportive. Don't worry about long posts...I know for me it sometimes just helps to lay it all out there...especially when you can finally talk to people who not just sympathize but really understand. I don't know where I would be now if I hadn't found this place after I was diagnosed with RSD. It was SO good to finally know that I was not going crazy. Has really helped me move forward and the people here have helped give me the strength I needed to push through. Welcome to neurotalk.
