My mother just told me earlier tonight that a friend of her hair dresser knows a lady with RSD/CRPS so severe that she went to see Dr S in Philly and he couldn't do anything for her...her legs are in such bad shape that they are almost black and she is almost always wheelchair bound. She used to ride horses and she has two young children that she can't do the things with like a young mom should...this breaks my heart and makes me thankful for the mobility that I still have. I sent a friend request to her on Facebook, so she doesn't feel so alone and of course I sent her the link to this board. Please send up prayers for her....hopefully she'll join here and find the compassion and comfort that all of you have given me.

cindi,
Yes I agree this is sad and makes me thankful for the mobility I still have also. Will send a special prayer request.

My prayers are with her. I always try to be thankful for the good things I have in my life and not to dwell on the bad things in my life because there is ALWAYS someone out there who has it worse than I do and who would give anything to even be as well as I am even WITH the RSD (as bad as this can be at times). I always try to be thankful that I have my life and even when it sucks because of the pain, at least I am not dying.

Thanks for posting this. I hope that you are able to connect with the woman and offer her the kind of support and friendship that I have found here on Neurotalk with all of you. It helps so much to know you are not alone in this and that there is hope for the future.

Prayers are going up for her right away.

May God give her the Miracle she needs. May 2012 set her free from the pain and debilitation she is suffering with. May God restore her and allow her the blessing to care for her family and horses as she once did. I hope she joins too so we can support her and be inspired with her.
In Jesus name we pray,
AMEN
