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

Thanks for this, I was thinking of getting a tattoo (something like.. I have RSD) thought it might help in an emergency, don't think I will now. I'm at that horrid stage of my RSD spreading. I wish there were support groups in the UK, we don't even have a group for chronic pain. Saying that, most of the doctors I've saw at the beginning of my RSD didn't even know what it was (even after I was diagnosed). If I had to go to the hospital for an emergency I had to take information about it with me, even my new GP (family doctor) didn't know anything about it, she DOES NOW
Thanks again for the advice
