Hi Tommie and welcome to NeuroTalk. You've found a wonderful place to be. Alffe showed you the link to the RSD forum and it's quite active. It sounds to me like you will find a lot of support and be able to comfort others as well. I'm sorry for your pain and hope many better days are ahead for you.

I'm fom the PNers group as well as Autoimmune group i just wanted
to say welcome to NeuroTalk there will be no 1 here who thinks your
pain is in your head. That's so sad you had to go through all of what
you.have. You've come to a good place,with kind people. Many Blessings

I'm very happy to meet you! Thank you soooo much for such a positive and heartfelt post! I agree that attitude is half the fight, and you sure seem to have a lot of good attitude. I hope you'll think about hanging around and becoming a part of our group here. I think you could do lots of good, and might find some support and make some friends in the process. Good luck and God bless you, Tommie...

Hi Tommie,

I'm from the RSD forum - your story sounds SO familiar...come along and join us, you'll fit right in, there's a whole bunch of us with it all in our heads - and hands, feet, legs, arms, internal organs...you get the picture, lol!!

We've got a great mixture of people, from teenagers to oldies, some people just recently diagnosed, some have had it longer than you; we try to support each other, offer advice and listen when we just can't stand it any longer and need to vent.

And we try to make each other laugh as well! So come on in, settle down and make yourself at home, so glad you found us,

all the best

Welcome to the rsd/crps family, Tommie... although I sure wish you didn't HAVE to be here.

We are all very familiar with the symptoms you described... and a few others, lol. I think you'll be shocked when you realize that other little annoyances with your health are directly related to the rsd. It doesn't only affect your limbs and nerves, it affects your brain, your emotions, even your <gulp> sex life. I thought that many of the other health problems I had were "separate entities"... which is just not so.

I'm really glad to see that your faith in God is strong... His help is the only way I make it through each day.

I look forward to the posts and discussions we will have in the future
