Anyone afflicted with RSD-reflex sympathetic dystrophy??

I have had RSD for the past almost 6 yrs and its horrible. I havent met anyone else with it in person but have a great little support group online. After being a member of the larger ones that didnt work well or had too many people in them i started a smaller one yrs ago and decided to keep it small so we could all really get to know eachother and be a support.
Id love to hear from anyone who has this or whod like to be a member of our family online:)

Hi Rachael,

I've had CRPS for nearly 8 1/2 years. I've got to know quite a few people with it, though like you am yet to meet anyone else who's got it.

I've applied to join your group- support from people who know what you're dealing with is I think important in any disease and especially so with RSD/CRPS given how few are aware of its existence. There are some really good groups around, but finding others is all good!
