I thought I would be relieved to finally have a name to put with my illness but that couldnt be further from the truth. I have no family support, am often alone because I have a hard time leaving the house, and I'm just waking up each day watching my once bright life, pass me by.
My current boyfriend has been a blessing but his military career/deployments, keep us more apart than together.
I have lost all motivation and hope. I have never felt more alone that I do now. With a little research I have come across this support group. Im really hoping that by reaching out I can find some kind of comfort and a positive support system

I would like to say welcome
!
I have only been diagnosed a few months now, butdealt with the pain far longer. I found this group shortly after diagnosis. These people have been amazing, and helpful, any questions you have, we will all do our best to help. I am sorry to hear you have been diagnosed with rsd too
I hope that you have found a good doctor, or at least a decent one.
I wish i could say more, but know how it is. I am a hermit, because i can no longer drive. I have to FORCE myself to leave the house when i do have the chance. I am sorry your home based support is not there, but i think you will find a good group of support here. You can message me if you want to talk.
I am 22, have rsd in my right arm ( and some spreading to other limbs now).
Please don't be afraid to ask anything, these people are here to help in any way they can.
I hope that your days get better.
