I would never even if someone paid me get a tattoo. Why take a chance at a spread? It is bad enough taking a chance of a spread when having to do things like go to the dentist etc but for something that does not need to be I can't see taking the chance. I know others who feel different and have got one but for myself it would not even be a consideration. Sorry if this was harsh
I understand and also feel frustrated with lack of people knowing about RSD. More so with medical field such as dental etc. As for support groups more seem to be popping up in the area. Even if you can find a chronic pain support group it can still be a supportive place to feel less alone
