Welcome to the RSD family. My name is Janine I am the founder of this group. I am sorry it has taken me so long to respond but I have been in the process of a move and I have been away from a computer for awhile. My replies will be sporadic for awhile as I will continue to be away from my computer during my transition.
I am so sorry to hear of another victim of the monster. I would like to suggest to you that you seek counseling now though as it will help you to adjust to what the future holds. This is something I suggest to everyone, it sure helped me. RSD is so unpredictable, it is as individual as every person is so there are no concrete answers as to what is next for any of us. What is tue for one is not true for some one else. While it limits itself to one area of the body for one person another may end up with full body symptoms, while it may spread slowly in one person it spreads quickly in another. For these and many other reasons it is best that we take care of ourselves in every way, not just our bodies but our minds and spirits also.
Always listen to your doctor but never think of your doctor as God. Question everything and learn as much as you can. When you think you have all the answers there is always another question to ask about this disease. You can never research enough! Everyone of us who has had this monster for any lenghth of time has done our share of research and we continue to do so. Never be afraid to ask us about any procedure the doctors want to do on you, and never have a procedure done without asking questions of those of us who have had the procedure done! We are here to help that is why I set this group up. We don't want anyone to feel alone in this.
When you have those days where you feel like crying call on us. We have very caring ears. Many of us are on line and are willing to chat at all hours of the day and night. Right now I am unavailable but I know annie and mirage are online quite a bit and are very good listeners. They are very willing to help.
Take care of yourself and know that you are not alone.
Luv and hugs
Janine
