So very sad that RSD is so misunderstood not only by loved ones but the medical community as well. Strange to tell a doctor you're wrong, do your homework. Families are torn apart from this condition because of this. The constant pain effecting those with RSD then their minds, not the other way around. Suzy's pain was so bad at one time I just couldn't understand. Her arms in the air as tho they were on fire, teeth clenched in pain, teeth that she was unable to brush because of pain. Doctors fearing she was faking, family members taking her misery personally and have nothing to do with her any longer. It's a long battle that we are winning, slowly but surely.

Patti, give your husband a smile, just a simple smile and that, I'm sure, will make his day and make him feel he is contributing to the betterment of you both.

Take good care,

Jim & Suzy
