if you go through ther topics on here i just posted a research paper on RSD that i did for my english class. its like 10 pages long but goes over every aspect of rsd pretty well. you might find it knowledgeable.

i've had it for 5 years, and was granted disability at the age of like 22, i'm 25 now....

I really liked your paper, BTW msdrea83......I copied it and emailed it to my Mom, husband, and Father. I thought it was very thorough and insightful. How did you score on it??? What a remarkable way to further awareness of this disease!!

thank you! i got an A+ on it

Aloha Andrea, this is my first post on any online forum, ever! (I have read plenty). I'm 25 and was diagnosed with RSD (or CRPS, depending whose diagnosing you) almost two years ago. I was also granted permanent disability over a year ago. I wanted to write a research paper about RSD last year but my professor said that it would be to "depressing" since I have it. I live in Hawaii now but I was raised in Stockton and my mom took me to Santa Cruz ever summer. Santa Cruz was the last place that I vacationed before I was diagnosed with RSD and since we're the same age I just felt like responding in a forum for once.
