You know I just wanted to say a real heartfelt THANKS to all of you and that I care deeply about each of you. I don't know much about any of you but that you care about others. You haven't judged me or my situation (and that's a mess LOL). You've answered my tons of questions with lots of good information and that's better than what I've read on the web. So I just wanted to say thank you. I'm hoping they can find a cure or something real soon for this and each of you will be able to find peace. I wish I could reach out and put my arms around each of you and say I truly understand. It's so hard when people see you and say Well you look fine therefore you can take 10 plus stress, be working like a dog 8 hours a day and not complain, uh oh, there, did it again, got sidetracked..... so big hugs.......

Dayton,

You are so welcome. It is hard when you look fine and people say you look ok, so they think nothing is wrong.

I hope you have a good day.

You're very welcome for everything, thats what we are all here for is to talk about this disease and find out all we can because its soo under researched and not all docs are sure how to treat it, so we have to take it into our own hands.

I hear ya about looking good on the outside nad people telling you that you look good except for the limp i have bc of the rsd in my foot. And i just tell them i have to smile or else i would be crying or be soo miserable i wouldnt come out of my house. I finnaly told my parents how bad really it is cause my doc told my mom that this is something bad and that she isnt faking it atall. And they felt bad because they thoguht as long as i was smiling and not complaining abut the pain , that i must be doing better. And i was like nooo , i just didnt want to burden you with the fact that i am in pain 24/7 and to worry about me.

Oh well.. again your welcome and i love talking to othrs that have this . It seems like i am not going nuts! lol

Dayton, we all are here for the same reason. Talk, learn, listen to one another. It is a devistating ilness we all share, at least we have one another.
