First of all, let me just say that I wasn't the first, or indeed only, person to mention flu etc. Nor did I say at any time that the RSD may not be spreading. I was not trying to trivialise Casino Chick's problems at all, neither am I suggesting she doesn't know the difference between flu and RSD. If you actually read my post you would see that I made a perfectly good suggestion, in that she see a pain specialist to discuss her concerns, which I believe is what you suggested also.

In future, it might be an idea to read the whole conversation before picking on one person who dares to have a slightly different answer than yourself.

I'm wondering why a 17yo took the screenname casinochick ?????

Not a criticism, I've got the poker and gambling bug, but around here you have to be 21+ to get into a casino.

I hope that you've been able to follow up with a doc and get to the root of these new issues. I hate that all of us are dealing with this rsd monster, but I especially hate hearing about younger people like yourself who haven't gotten to enjoy things like college, new jobs, getting your own place, getting married, having kids, etc. What a damper rsd puts on all of the fun things in life !

I don't want to be in the middle of this but I think we need to settle down here. I feel nobody is right or wrong here. There is never any right or wrongs about RSD. The only thing right about rsd is that it a huge monster and everybody on here doesn't want it, but we all have to play the cards we were dealt with whether we like it or not. Everybody is different and this monster does what it wants when it wants. NONE of us has control over that, unfortunately or we all wouldn't have this disease. I just hate to see people arguing on here. We all have to deal with this monster no matter what. No its not fair but we have no choice. So can we all just get along with no arguing. None of us needs extra stress in our lives it just makes us feel worse. So can we all just get along? Like I said before arguing is getting us no where so please stop. I know that it is probably none of my business and I am sorry if anyone feels that way,but it is the truth. I have had this monster for 6 1/2 years now and I know it is no fun for any of us but we have to learn how to deal with this. Not only that this site is not meant for arguing, but for support. So can we all try to support one another here? Thank you.

Sincerely,
Tracy

I totally agree. There's no point in going over it again, but I do feel that the whole thing has been blown out of proportion and it's certainly made me think twice about contributing to anything else. If you want my honest opinion, the comments by CRPSbe upset me greatly. It was never my intention to hurt anyone.

Please try not to take the response of just one person to heart. Everyone's contributions are valuable here, we all have to help each other out. I'm sure you have a lot to say that could be helpful so I hope you will consider sticking around.
