Welcome Lucy:)

[Guest guest]

Hi and welcome to our group here Lucy. I hope you will love it here

and i know you will meet some great people. I have met some

incredible friends who have become like family to me.

We all like to help eachother with any info and advice we can.

If you ever need anything or any info please let us know. I love to

do searches once in a while and will include MS to see what theyre

saying ect.

Your from Pa? Im in NC but originally from CT. Moved here due to

very high cost of living in CT but sometimes i miss my friends and

family up there. Is Lancaster area near the amish country? I may

have driven through that area when we traveled from Ct to Nc to Ct

lol.

I am sorry to hear your husband doesnt seem to understand what your

going through but i see that alot. Ive been in groups for about 5yrs

since i was diagnosed with RSD at age 22 and have also dealt with

some of this first hand. My family is now very understanding but at

first they didnt know what rsd was (like me).

Please know we are here to offer support!!!

Take care and know anytime you need us-even if just to vent we are

here to listen:)
