New Here
 

Hey everybody!!! My name is Anna and im 17 years old. I've had RSD for about 20 months now (been diagnosed for about 6). I saw some people mention this site over on brain talk where i have a account also. Just wanted to pop in and say hello! I hope that i can make a bunch of friends here, mostly just because ive sorta been left behind socially because of all this RSD stuff and it would be really nice to be able to have people who i can relate to!!!:)

i hope to get to know everyone!

Anna

Hi Anna,

Wow, you're gorgeous! Are you sure you're not Mark in disguise? (only kidding..) Join the gang, you've improved the visual quality of this site straight away :p. I just put up my avatar and decided my dog was easier on the eye than me :D :D
Welcome!
all the best..

Yowsa
 

You sure is a purty thang! Welscome! Anna since your new here, it is tradion that on the first holiday you must have everyone from this forum over to your house for celebration. I have a mini bus ready to go. I will leave in the AM and start collecting em up. A few of them have issues so it make take us a while. But we'll be there. Mmmm I can smell the Yammms all ready!!

Seriously - Wellcome. This is the only place you'll want to be. Grab a chair (not to close to Jose or Artist, they'll corrupt you) and enjoy your time with us. :D :D

Mark :)

whens thanksgiving? i may have a pretend celebration here (have felt too rubbish to go out for weeks.... need something that flat mates can do with me that is social...... it's not very fun for them seeing me either crying or flat in bed unable to talk with pain. dammit.

i used to live in the US - i think the best was the squash bread!!

thanks everyone who responded!!!

to answer Jo55's question, i just today saw my first pain management doctor. It was EXTREMELY frustrating, because just like every other doctor he had a hard time believing that i was in soooooo much pain. mostly just because my leg isnt very swollen. it seems swollen to me, but ive never been one to swell up much anyways. he kept pointing the fact that i wasnt swollen out to me though. He put me on lidoderm patches, if that makes sense. i really have no idea whats going on with this whole RSD thing and i dont really know of any treatment options or anything, im just trying to wrap my head around all of it still.

I contracted RSD after a supposed stress fracture to the middle metatarsals of my left foot. But now, they arent sure if it really was a fracture or if my RSD was just sorta spontaneous. Once again, i dont konw if any of this makes sense, but im trying!!!!

You all are just way to nice!!! I dont think ive ever had anyone tell me i was pretty before!!! Its just usually "Anna, well i guess shes not deformed or anything..." Oh well, im fine with being the ugly duckling!

Oh, and bring on the mini-bus. I'm ready!!! I really only can cook Chicken flavored Ramen noodles, but if they have turkey ones ill bust out a big ol' pot of those (theyre more festive in my opinion haha) You'll have to brave the frigid tundra that is the north woods of Wisconsin. (actually its really really really nice here right now!!!) Hope you like cheese. :D

Hey Anna. I saw you somehwere before. I remember your name :) Yep...we're mother hens! In fact, I hope you're wearing your winter coat when you venture outside young lady! I LOVE cheese! Does that mean you're sending us all some for Christmas? Colby here, please! And EXTRA EXTRA EXTRA sharp cheddar for my SO (maybe you can explain this...why do they put an expiration date on cheese that's over 15 years old already anyway???)

Hope you enjoy yourself. We're a "shootoff" from the Old Braintalk (OBT) - which is now BT1 (braintalk 1) from when it crashed, so ppl had somewher to go. We liked it here so much we decided to stay. No fist fights over here, just mark cracking jokes daily and sending us pictures of his ugly brothers, and letting us look up his nose. It's not pretty. Instead of cheese, send him some nose tweezers please :)

Hope you like it here!
