Hello,

I'm sorry you had a need for us, you'll be happy you found this site. You are living and emotional roller coaster so hold on tight :winky. We have all been there and after 8 years I still get on sometimes.

Keep in mind no two people have the same nervous system. That is why there is no cure and what works for one person may not work for another. It takes time but there are treatment options that really can help. Finding the medications that work for you may take time but it will be time well spent.
Talk to your doctor and do as much research as you can on your treatment options that are offered. Don't allow your life to be defined by your condition. Be an active participant in your care not a spectator.

It is hard on family memebers. They love you and see your hurting and don't know what to do to help. When my husband comments on how he feels I just respond with I understand pain completely. It's ok to get frustrated with people when they complain how they feel until they walk in the shoes of someone with RSD they have no idea how bad we feel. There is a website rsds.org and it is great source of information. Maybe your husband would take the time to read some of the information on this site.

Welcome to the site you'll be glad you checked us out.

Take care,
Sherrie:grouphug
