I am glad you posted to us. that is what this site is for. I am sorry for your suffering. I felt your tears. It sounds like you have been through alot not just with the abuse, but with the RSD in your body. Do you have some measure of control in the pain? You mentioned some of the doctors you have seen, don't know alot about RSD. In this country also, many patients know more about it than their doctors do. I hope you get the help you need.

It is also nice to hear about your family. Your daughter and son-in-law sound like good souls, who are there for you. My son is a occupational PT, and has that caring attitude toward me. I feel blessed to have his as you do your family.
I will keep you in my prayers. I don't have RSD. But I do have pain issues, and go to a pain specialist who for the most part is very good to me.
You are welcome anytime to vent, and talk to us. I stayed with NT because of the supprt I received from all the good people here. I continue to come back as often as I can to give support to others that need it. I wish there were a cure for RSD and that people didn't have to suffer with it. Take care, ginnie
