Has anyone read the book, Living With RSD? It is a new book, have not seen it at the book store here yet but was wondering if anyone has read it and is it worth searching for.

Hope everyone has a day without pain....

Yep, bought it from amazon.com. I found it terribly upsetting but then this disease is, huh? I mean I read it, and said well guess I better just give up right now!!!!! Don't get me wrong,it was informative but I really didn't need to be depressed. They didn't focus on HOPE and research and maybe the ketamine injections. and I think they should have. Surely someone out there has conquered this and has positive input. Sorry don't mean to be so hard on this book, but personally I was disappointed. Heavens knows, I've got enough problems with that...........

I haven't read the book. I have an order form to get it but haven't followed through. I would be interested to hear if others aside from Dayton have read it. I certainly don't want to be any more depressed any more than I am. That's why I have been hesitant about ordering it. I was hoping it would be uplifting and hopeful. Anyone else out there read it?
