I didn't see where Sharon posted her first post.. Am I doing something wrong? And where did you get information about her RSD and her family??
Im new too Sharon, I think we joined on the same day. Im quite a gabber, so you'll read lots and lots of my posts! Some, justa ramblin on and on!
Its 2:12am.. another Topomax stay up till the butt crack of dawn and sleep your work day away, kinda night...
I was diagnosed with RSD last Thursday, June 12 after suffering phantom swelling and lots of phantom pain for 10 years or so. If this disease indeed was caused by some sort of surgery.. well, my knee surgeries were '89 and '90, my ankle surgeries were both '91 (x2) and my jaw replacement took three surgeries '89,'90, and '91. I dont think umbilical hernia surgery could do it.. but that too was '91. So anyway.. If it was caused by surgery, I've had it a long time. Its now spread to all my limbs.
All I can say is Bummer. Thank God he finally gave me a name, an answer to work with, something to be pro-active with.
Glad your a newbie with me!
Glad to meet you.
