We are here to serve you! With Love, Peace, and Aloha, Howard, Jenny and Julie |
| Dear Friends, I am writing to let you know that I have volunteered to co-lead the RSD Support Group. I feel very strongly that this syndrome is under-funded for research, that many doctors remain unaware of the symptoms of this condition (the average patient sees 5 professional medical providers before they are diagnosed), and also that the general public for the most part has never heard of this condition which afflicts 50,000 new patients every year in the USA alone. How many of you have tried to tell a friend of family member about your condition, and been met with a blank stare? I hope to make a positive contribution to this site through providing information in posts and continuing to expand our Resources section. I pledge to be here for you as a friendly ear, so that you know that you are not alone in your experience. I would like to see this group thrive as a welcoming community, where we can explore the ups and downs of this condition in a safe environment. We can make a difference in our own lives and in the lives of other CRPS/RSD patients by being better informed about the syndrome, and by sharing that information with our own community of doctors, friends and family. I am particularly interested in alternative and complimentary tools such as those used by Rev and offered at many pain management clinics ~ such as meditation, relaxation techniques, and volunteering to help others. There are things that WE can do to help ourselves reduce our own suffering. I will need your patience and a little coaching along the way as I am new to being a forum leader. I will sincerely appreciate any feedback from my co-leader Craig and from any and all members. If you have any suggestions or ideas, please feel free to contact me because this is OUR group, and OUR community, created and sustained by OUR participation. Thank you for this opportunity to be of service, Mahalo, Jenny |
