Happy Holidays All! - Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Message Board

Just wishing all good holidays!

I sure would like too see more RSD suffers posting here as this is a darn good way to relieve some of the stress that RSD causes.

I had a great Christmas this year as the pain decided to let up just at the right time so I got to spend a wonderful time with all my kids. Gees I was even awake for Christmas day. I'm usually awake for several days at a time then crash for 12hrs of sleep and usually that sleep comes just when I can see my kids. So Santa did good this year.

y'all take care!

Hi Ken,
I have Lupus and Fibromyalgia and have had a few episodes where they thought I was developing RSD symptoms...my right arm shut down...turned ice cold and couldn't stand air/touch etc... But anyway, I have a friend who has RSD and I know a few others that I will try to send this way!
I am glad you had a great Christmas...and that you were feeling good to celebrate the day!
My Lupus and Fibro calmed down for the day as well (Lupus causes alot of Circulation problems that mimic RSD at times as well)...and I really had a good one myself.
Nice to meet you, and I hope I can send some friends your way!

Blessings,
Patty

Hi Patty,

Good to meet you and glad the Holidays were good for you. Isn't it amazing how the most simple of lifes pleasures are GOD send when the pain is around!

I also have a friend that has the Fibromyalgia so I feel for you. Hers is a very mild case so it doesn't effect her like what you go through. Lupus is just a plain bummer like RSD and from the sounds of it, just as rare. Are there local support groups for Lupus like there is for RSD? That seamed to help me understand the RSD a bit more as it confirmed that I wasn't crazy. LOL
Yes thats a matter of opinion and if you asked the wife I'm sure she would have a different opinion

Take Care,
Ken
