thank you soooo much. this is the first time that i have heard from someone else that has rsd and I am overcome with emotion of not being so alone. my kids found me passed out at the bottom of my stairs today from a reaction to a fentnyl patch and i am not having the best day.  how does one go on with their life when they know that each day is filled with so much pain? i feel like if i say i have rsd then i am saying i will have to live in pain for the rest of my life and i don't know that i can do that.  how does everyone deal with this, and why have i never heard of this awful disease before i had it?  i work in the medical field and people need to be aware and more research needs to be done because i NEED a cure, i don't accept this real well, because i hurt so much. thank you for your words of kindness. i will for sure be turning to the internet for support because no one else understands and i even think they think i am not in as much pain as i am in.

 

thanks and hope this finds you well also,
