This site is my lifesaver!!
I have a chronic pain condition called RSD- Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy.
I am always in pain, so I don't tend to go anywhere anymore and my husband plays "mr mum" for our kids.
RSD can be a very lonely condition, there aren't many people in this country who have it. It is very depressing, and there isn't one treatment that works for everyone.
Through Healthboards, I have found a whole family of people who go through the same thing as me- pain, treatments, emotions etc. I can come on here and feel welcome and understood, and encouraged by people getting some pain relief.
Every day I am on here checking in with other RSD and pain sufferers. It has been a lifeline for me. I am so happy to have found this board, I would be lost without it and its members.
So thank you!
Kate
