Hi Everyone!

I'm Kate, I'm 28 but am another October birthday girl, as I'll be 29 on the 29th

I'm a mum of 4 kids- 3 girls, Bailey- 8, Liv (Olivia)- 6 and Hannah- 4 months. And a 4 year old son called Dayne. I'm studying an HR course so that one day, if my rsd lets me I can get a good job.

My rsd started in my right arm 6 years ago, from nerve damage during a blood test. Then it spread to my right leg in Jan this year after a White-Tailed Spider bite.

I've had breaks from my RSD thanks to ketamine infusions (3x low dose, 7 day awake ones) but am now back on meds again. My rsd is very out of control right now, spreading and changing quickly- I've had heaps of new symptoms in new areas just since mid August when my last infusion was unsuccessful.

My hubby is my carer, we've been together for about 11 years and I'd be lost without him!

I live in Melbourne, Australia- home of an amazing RSD DR so I'm very lucky there- and grew up in England, moving here when I was 13.

So thats me!
