"I broken thanks for taking the time to see how I have been Im sorry I have not answered you soon but I really am in a bad way physically and mentally which is unusual for me I dont get depressed very often but I am in full flare mode and really worried about my surgery which is now scheduled for june 10th, but in the meantime remember I was telling you about this condition that I had and the dr in the ER said it was frozen shoulder did nt know what he was talking about and by my description i did nt explain it very clearly but what I have is capsulitis (frozen shoulder) and the pain is unbearable I can t even put on my bra, lift my pants up properly,thing that bothers me now, I'm going for pre-op exams on thursday may 9 and I m worried that they might cancel my surgery due to this since I need my 2 arms to be strong since i have to support myself with a walker than crutches -So at this point i dont know what the hell will happen sore arm, limping from hip pain, full flare FM and insomnia - Im so sorry to rant and rave to you and writing such a long message but i did nt want to post it im embarrass when I complain this much my girlfriend tries and keeps on telling me it will get better but will it im not sure anymore.

"Thank you for your message. As a fellow nurse, you really understand the loss. It's so hard to let go. I'm not a nurse anymore, my kids are grown and my hubby does all the cooking and cleaning, bless his heart. I feel like all my roles are taken and I'm not needed. I will check on Lupus, it makes sense. My blood work was negative once before. Worth checking again. Thanks so much for all the support!"

"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"
