I am impressed with the strength that I feel as I am reading. Thank you for the welcome, I do have a lot of years of experience with pain, I wonder if we should be referred to as the pain specialists? However, the emotional pain that you go through with this is horrible. Such as I have a day where my pain is soooo low, I get so excited, I feel really good, I want to do things, I think I have beat this or gone into remission. Then suddenly out of nowhere, I get this intense overwhelming pain in my right leg and I crash. I call these attacks, it is like living with the enemy in your body and you can't even hide or take a fifteen minute break. I just have to ride out the storm, sometimes hours, sometimes days. I do appreciate the good days though and I take full advantage of them for they are short but sweet.

Bless you all

Okay, my life story.... I am looking at the RSD Board and realize I am not there. I came aboard to help find myself and got lost within the first 12 hours. This is dejavue, like when I was a kid at the zoo with my teacher and class mates, I could see them but I somehow managed to stray off or sat and chatted with an animal for too long. Anyhow, could someone help give me direction to get myself on the RIGHT board. LOL

Thanks
