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,

Hello Matrix (cool name) and Welcome to NeuroTalk. You really have a positive attitude for all that you are going through. I'm glad you found us, the members here are so helpful and friendly, PLUS you'll find so much useful info here.

Here's a link to our RSD forum if you haven't already seen it.http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/forum21.html



Look forward to seeing more posts from you.

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.

Hi theMatrix! :Wave-Hello: Welcome to NeuroTalk!

How good of you to come! Join in anywhere and everywhere, your positive energy is intoxicating! :)

Thank you so much. I have had several people write me already. What a friendly group! I love it! I guess you know what my favorite movie is..lol..I use it everywhere..on posts, on my website, everywhere.

It's a good ice breaker! I mean, who doesn't like or at least heard of the Matrix? Especially Keanue Reeves.

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.

Hi, Matrix!
 

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. :p

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