[FONT="Comic Sans MS"][SIZE="4"]Thanks for the recommendation. I will take a look at it. I am always looking for a way to reduce my pain level. It's way up this morning, I could use something to stop this flare.

It's really great to meet you! I'm very sorry for all the pain you are in, but I'm glad that you've managed to find our site. You sound incredibly positive for someone in your condition. I admire that. I like talking, too, and I can talk all day about pain, but I'm afraid I don't know a lot about RSD. Sometimes I just like to talk in general.

Anyway, I'm glad you visited, and hope you'll visit again and again. Good luck and best wishes to you, Matrix!

Thanks for the welcome note. I take it your name reflects your outlook on life?

Although my pain is always there, I try to get my mind off it as much as possible. I'm not a whiner; you have to fill those profiles out and that's my life...

The reason my website and most of my blogs are about RSD is to get the name out in the public eye more. Even though it has been around since the Civil War, most people have never heard of it and don't know anything about it. I didn't until I was diagnosed with it. Boy, was that a surprise.

But, I never give up hope.

Well, this has to be short this morning, but I'll be back posting later. Nice meeting you and we'll be talking soon.
