Hello everyone - I finally got brave and registered I have learnt so much in the last month or so, I wanted to say thank you! It's become a scary world suddenly and I came to realize that I can't do this alone. I was just diagnosed with RSD in February after only 4 months luckily. My family and friends have been wonderful, but I can't expect them to really understand what is happening to me - they've read things and know the ins and outs in words - but they can't feel what's happening to my body, and it's progressed so rapidly there's just been no adjustment time - not even for me ... The 'Monster' entered and is just rampaging away ...
