Hi,
I want to let you know how sorry I am that you are afflicted with this terrible disease. I am much older (51) than you but know the pain you are dealing with.
Please read the post that I just wrote to "suffering and living with RSD." It pretty much says it all. I have had RSD for many years and, when you say "I don't feel like myself these days", I know exactly what you mean.
I really can't tell you too much else, but I wish you the best in whatever treatments you are given to try and alleviate some of the pain. You say you have been called a drama queen; this is because noone can begin to know the pain we live with. At my last dr. appt I sad there and cried and told him I could not stand living this way any longer.
Best of luck to you.
Darlene
