Talking Sharon

I just wanted to welcome you to the forum. I can't imagine having this disorder for 17 years. I have had it for 2 and am going nuts. I also have a very supportive family that keeps me going.

I hope you have a good day, and again, Welcome.
Cattys

Hi Cattys!

Thanks for the welcome. I know. It's a really tough disease to deal with. I am very glad to hear that you have a great family too. I think it makes all the difference.

Sharon

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.

Hi Lacei!

I think my first post is under "Where is everyone?" I've also had a lot of surgeries and they just made the RSD worse, but at the time, they thought that if they got rid of the mechanical irritants, the RSD would go away. Oh well, it didn't! As I said in my first post, I've had RSD for 17 years and it's not a fun thing to deal with.

I hope you finally got some sleep and I'll talk to everyone soon.

Sharon
