Guest guest Posted April 5, 2003 Report Share Posted April 5, 2003 CHRYSTINE, IN YOUR GROUP HOW DO YOU GO ABOUT TALKING ABOUT RSD IN LAYMAN'S TERMS. I'M GETTING READY TO EMAIL A MEDICAL MAGAZINE WE HAVE HERE LOCALLY AND THEY NEVER HAVE MENTIONED RSD & I WOULD LIKE TO CONVINCE THEM IT'S SUPER IMPORTANT.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2003 Report Share Posted April 9, 2003 Bev, I'm getting the epidural for the rsd... I explain rsd by saying that it is the worst imagineable pain ever, but if i'm speaking to a reporter i always tell them something different... I am friends with lots of kids with rsd, so i tell the reporter to imagine being 7 or 8 years old and having to deal with pain every day, not being able to play like a normal kid, having to see doctors constantly... Imagine if it was your kid and you had to watch them sit there and cry in pain everyday... this usually strikes a cord with most people, especially if they have children... So many children have to suffer with this illness, I run a support group online for kids, and i know of at least 40 kids under the age of 14 with rsd....I never feel bad for myself, or pity myself because these kids have to suffer with this, at least i got to live 16 years of my life without pain... some of them got rsd at 6 or 7...At least i didnt get it til 16, thats why i tell older people to never feel bad that they have rsd, because they could've gotten it younger and lost so many of their years as a child because of the pain... Love, Chrystine Chrystine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
