Hang in there. I keep thinking if anyone is going to kick this thing it will be you and even if you don't you just might succeed in being happy despite it.

The therapy is supposed to be one of the more effective treatments for chronic cases but it scares me almost more than everything else. I keep exercising and doing as much as I can though.

I hope you can at least get a good night sleep tonight.

I am sorry for all your pain. I think you are such a fighter to even attempt at college through this. I give you so much credit. I took part in a similar program you are talking about. I think the support groups with others in similar really help. I hope you feel better and things look up asap

Hi Ali, I just wanted to wish you good luck on your exams. I know that they can really increase stress levels, so be sure that you are being good to yourself while you are preparing. I have always looked forward to your posts, but hate that you have this at such a young age. My prayer will be that they find either a cure or procedure that helps keep this disease at bay, and that it will be soon so that you can get back to enjoying what being a teenager is all about.
That said, I have to tell you that I just finished my college degree and really enjoyed the opportunity to learn new things and being around all of the young people ( I am 50). It can be done with RSD!
