- Every year I'm the 1st to get out the garland and mistletoe, set the Nativity Scene perfectly and get the tree up. It's almost the 12th of December and I still haven't done a darn thing. I've felt so tired, and just not "right" and have extra pain I...
- I'm almost 15 years into RSD so I was wondering if any other RSD patients feel fatigue? I honestly don't know if anything else is wrong w/ me or if it's the RSD. I'm tired all the time lately, and that just isn't me. I do work part-time as a travel...
- It snowed today. Gorgeous. I love snow. Always have. But the RSD hates snow. Sometimes I think of the pain as a person named RSD. He's cunning, insidious, ruthless. Maybe the pain is finally driving me crazy.In 25 minutes exactly, I can take a...
- Winter is here, along with crazy weather. My RSD began to flare last week but I tried to convince myself it was something else. Now I woke at 6am, spent the day trying to get comfortable, and am back in bed. It's only a little after 3pm and I'm in...
- Not to exclude anyone else, but I was wondering how many RSD patients we have on the board. I've heard that there are separate boards for us so am I the only one left?I'm curious for a lot of reason, but mostly b/c Winter is upon us and I'm curious...
- Okay, this might sound VERY silly and if so, I hope you LOL b/c Lord knows, we need all the laughter we can get. But I am serious about it and wonder if anyone has the same problem or maybe a solution easier than what I have dreamed up!So tonight I...
- I'm out of town working and my RSD kept me from an afternoon in the sun as I'm feeling the humidity in my foot and leg. I knew that a spell in the sun would keep me from doing my best in my writing, plus I'm STILL suffering from a sinus infection...
- I was just writing about things I miss in the other thread, like traveling w/o worrying about my pills, and I remembered something that made me laugh. Is there something about your CP, a memory of something that makes YOU laugh? We all know CP is...
- I HATE feeling sorry for myself, but today I do. It's rare- I really, really rarely allow myself to wallow in pity. But Sunday night my whole body froze up, muscles and even a few joints. It happened once before when I was 1st diagnosed with RSD and...
- Depending on your religion or relationship with the all-knowing entity many of us call God, if you have a couple spare prayers or thoughts, could you please send them this way? I've got a doctor appointment this afternoon and while I feel silly...
- I just noticed in my calender that September is Pain Awareness Month. There are different occasions going on across the country. I think we should spread the word as much as we can. Even my state governor declared NPM! Funny as we have some of the...
- I arrived in New Orleans today for work and they're expecting really bad weather. It's hot and humid, of course, but there's a big storm off the coast headed our way and they're trying to figure out if it will be a Tropical Storm, a Hurricane, or...
- I've had RSD for 14 and a half years, controlled with pain meds. It's in my left foot, ankle and leg. The past few weeks, my calve has been hardening, like an involuntary muscle spasm. It only lasts a minute but it's like my ankle locks up and all...
- I posted almost 3 weeks ago about being stung multiple times by wasps after my son was attacked. I was stung on both arms and hands and legs. My son, 2, looked worse and was taken to ER, and I investigated to see WTH had stung him. I found out soon...
- It's not a fun subject and I get if anyone doesn't want to read or comment. I've had RSD for 14 years and have dealt with this issue off and on and I'm looking for advice, tips, anything. I recently returned from Mexico with Montezuma's Revenge, or,...
