Hi Tina,
no you are not selfish. Rsds is very hard to live with, I have had it for over 2 years now and I have my ups and downs
I live off of pericets, which is a bad drug. I have had 11 blocks and the only thing they did was stop my arm
from turning blue. e-mail me at kirsteen@idmail.com. I have found a real good chat room which people can talk about
this. We e-mail each other alot and they try to put together trips too. I myself have not been able to go any
Just remember the pain is real, it is not all in your mind. You have to try and stay possitive for the pain
can get worse when you in to a depression. Take care and look forward to chatting with you.
