I want to wish all of my fellow RSD'ers a very happy and blessed Easter... I know it is such a challenge waking up with our pain each day but one of the largest bonuses I have is discovering all of you here ..You are so important to me and in the management of my condition..so a special day as today..I just want you all to know how much you mean to me!! Thank you for all of your support and concern all year thru..You are my family and I luv ya all!

You too, KS.....I agree with everything you posted, this forum has changed my life!

Hi KS,
I want to reply with the same gratitude to the board and to everyone who posts regularly, or visits now and then.

So many times, I have come to the boards feeling lonely, estranged and misunderstood.

But there is a comfort whenever I log on and read the challenges, the victories, and the common bond of experience that we share.

This time of year is a time of renewal and hope. I have been having a very hard time with escalating pain/burn levels, and while I try and accept my condition, and try and manage it moment to moment, I also try to maintain hope that it can someday change for the better.

Sometimes my log-in name (Hope4thebest) belies my state of mind and body...I confess that sometimes I feel hopeless....

But, without sounding maudlin and sentimental, when I looked at the bare winter branches, and see miraculous green budding leaves, appearing from seemingly dead wood, I am reminded of hope and renewal again.
Love to everyone,
Hope4thebest xoxoxox

I know I dont post as much as I used to, but still come around and read. The words posted so far cover exactly why I come around too.

Hope everyone had a great "happy easter"!

I've learned so much from you all...

Happy Spring!! We are supposed to see the temps hit the 80's by mid-week here in southern NE. AWESOME!!

Most of us are still pumping out continuosly flooding basements and dragging piles of ruined stuff to the curb for garbage pick-up from the severe rains that fell last week. RI is a real mess right now.

I hope that the warmer temps and bright sunshine bring most of my friends here better pain control!!

XOXOX Sandy

Thank you for your random kindness. Its refreshing and made me smile.
