Thanks for the update, Andrea! I too am in a bad flair. My arm, hand looks like allison's! Hmmmmmmm.. what the heck is going on??!! Is it cold there? It is freezing here. I accidently cut myself getting a knife out of my dishwasher, put antibacteria medication on it and the next day my hand blew up! Now it's spreading. I hate this!! To let it happen to a beautiful teenage girl, who is young makes me mad! Your a good caring mom, Andrea. invite mates over for Ali, take her places to meet new friends in wheel chairs or with out wheel chairs. Both of you... Hang in there! Prayers being said! ((Hugs Ali)) (((Hugs Andrea))) ~Love, Desi

Hi Desi - i's Alison here
Many thanks for your reply, we really appreciate your help, my arms still really bad and infected. The infection seems to be getting more yellow, my mom rang the hospital and they said that it's good because the infection should be draining out of my arm.
Yes the weather is horrible, here in the UK, it is about 3 degrees during the day. I believe that the weathers making my pain worse
I am so sorry that you are having another flair, RSD NEVER happens to people who are horrible, its always nice people like you that gets it
My moms great, she's really good with me, I don't know what I would do without her. She invites my mates over to our house and takes us to the movies/shopping mall etc. I am hoping to try HBOT soon, so hopefully I will be able to meet other wheelchair users.
How are you?
Got to go now, my arms hurting again
Take care
Merry Christmas
Love
Alison

DDayMBB,
Sorry about your arm, the bruising looks like mine. My arm used to be in a fist. When I had the second flair of RSD, I made sure I moved it, even though it hurts a lot to do so.
Take care
Merry Christmas
Ali
