Exclamation Hi: I'm New Here & Like to Get to Know You
I was doing some research on RSD and found your site. I have RSD, Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome, a chronic, neurological disorder characterized by incredible burning pain. Mine started in my right hand from surgery but has since spread to almost every part of my body.

I am looking forward to meeting you, I am housebound, and enjoy meeting and exchanging information and ideas with people. Especially concerning pain management, disabilities or anything like that. I have lost the use of both hands, most use of legs and back has deteriorated.

Enough of me for now. I believe in keeping a positive attitude, fighting back this disease I have even though there is no cure, because someday......
Bye for now,
TheMatrix777

I wanted to say hello too Matrix. I like your name as well, but I like your avatar even more....optimistic! Who could wish for anything more?

I see DaisyMay has already shown you the way to the RSD Forum, but don't forget to check out our Social Forum, or even "On the Lighter Side" if you like games.

Welcome again matrix. I'm so pleased you found us.

Default WoW ! Such Fast Reply's! Thanks a Lot
It's very nice to meet you too. I hope it does change me; for the good of course. Everyone here seems so thoughtful and caring. That's wonderful.

It's funny how a common thing, in our cases, any illness, can bring people to together. Makes you wonder why the whole world can't get along. Here we are or at least me, am thankful every morning if I can walk that day. Sometimes I can, other days, I can't. When you look at our small "victories", this world bickering business to me seems very small.

Default Mindful Pain Management
If you like to read, you might try "Full Catastrophe Living" by Jon Cabott-Zin. He teaches stress management, meditation, and non-judgement as a way to cope with, and actualy reduce pain. I was reading it when I had my second whip-lash accident, and found it very helpfull. I now recomend it to clients regularly.

[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.
