Never heard of RSD, all these dieases you are starting to hear more and more of are scary
My egg donor as I like to call the woman
used drugs when pregnant so they think that is what caused the cartilage to harden and bones in my knee and legs not to form right causing 4 surgeries so far, lots of screws and pins and removing bone from my right leg so that is one of my issues... Next I was in a wreck in 94 where a girl ran a red light and went under the bed of my truck on my side one week to the day the truck was out of the shop I was in dead stop traffic on 95 and a lady did 70 MPH never hitting the brakes into the back of that same truck soo herniated disc and pinched nerves in my neck NEXT lol in 2003 I used to weight between 115-120 the start of the year by the end of the year I was almost 200 and scared to even leave my bedroom so after testing they found I have a pituitary brain tumor which the pituitary is pretty much a master gland because it effects so much stuff... Screws up your thyroid, causes memory to go, panic attacks, wild mood swings (sadly I have just punched somebody for calling me a little girl lol), can't handle weather changes. And most people that have the tumor also end up having fibromyalgia... Woohoo I got LUCKY and have that too hahaha
So I mainly just try to make jokes about it all and try my best to avoid pain and anxiety med's but sometimes I have no choice but to give in.
