About Me
I am 44 years old, and I have had Systemic RSD/CRPS for nearly half my life. I slid into a serious depression for 2-3 years, and managed to claw my way back out. I learned a lot. I have started a blog about my struggles, which I hope will grow into a positive place of support, where we can all come and share. If we can help one person not slide into that kind of depression, we have done a lot. Please join me at judylloyd.blogspot.com
