I am so sorry to hear that....I am 22 and was finally diagnosed with rsd in november of 2007 but i have been dealing with it and fighting the doctors on it since september of 2006....I can't say what exactly your daughter is going through but i can tell you what i go through with my mom and of how it affects me and my actions.....The longer that i had and have to put up with it and the more and more things that the doctors try and the treatment fails the more negative everything thing becomes...You no longer care what you look like.....You no longer what to get out and do anything....You no longer get your hopes up.....You just plan give up......What I think you should try to do with her is to sit her down and talk as if she is an adult and always tell yourself that you are only in a rut and things will get better.....Have you thought about a plus going along with a minus, the good after the bad?......If you haven't you might want to try.....Go somewhere speacial or do something speacial after a doc appt or a little bit before....for examle; you could take her to the park on a warm day and just have a mom and daughter convo......Find out what she likes it and if there is a way take them to do something related to it.....

I really hope that this helps.

With love and hugs,
