Hi all,
I am hoping this forum will help me to understand my RSD better and to offer "info with 1st-hand experience" for treatments offered to me. As I am so sensitive to many of the drugs, and I am scared to have any surgeries, I am hoping to find some form of non-invasive treatments. My pain is worsening and I guess the RSD is spreading. It is really wonderful to have this site to honestly state my feelings, questions, etc. Thanks to all who designed it and support it! I hope to find lots of E-friends here!
Keep smiling....it does make you feel better, and it is contagious!

You have come to the right place. I have searched long and hard and was very greatful to find this site. Everyone cares lots and is constructive adn we all understand to a degree what you are going through.

We are all different and respond differently to treatments but at the very least you get honest information about how people with the same affliction (I really can't think of the right word) so you can be as informed as possible.

Good luck for the future

Hi there mrshippie,



I hope we'll be able to help you, just ask anything you'd like advice on, I know people here will try their best. How do you say your name - as in "mrs hippie" or "mr shippie" ? Just wondering

How did you get RSD in the first place, and how long have you had it?

As always, I can really recommend browsing through the previous posts, there's not much we haven't covered, and it may well help you to get a better sense of what having RSD/CRPS is all about.

We're a big mixture, people here have many degrees of "severity", but of course each of us is so different, and everything affects us differently - and we have several forum members who are either allergic to or drug-intolerant, so yes, you're in the right place! And you're right, we have to be very careful indeed when it comes to surgery...

So fire away with anything you'd like to ask,
all the best
