I just thought I'd take a chance to say hi to everyone on here. I suppose this is supposed to be primarily for kids of people with RSD, but I am one of the rarer cases of a kid that has RSD. Well I guess I'm almost an adult, I turn 18 on august sixth, but I've been dealing with the heartache of having this condition since I was nine years old. Some days I feel like I am on the verge of giving up, like my life is hopeless and no one can understand. That's why I started looking up support groups online, because even though I know I'm not alone, I've never actually met another person with RSD face to face. And as few people as it seems like there are that actually know what RSD is or have it, it seems like there are even less people who are my age. So if anyone ever wants to talk to someone about RSD, I always like to talk. I am on msn all the time, and it's always nice to talk to people my age who understand RSD.
