I know some peeps have been worried, and for that, I apologize. I am still adjusting to all of this, and being a woman, I cry alot!!!! I have been dealing with physical pain from RSD for over 20 years, but this emotional pain is something that knocks me down....and I find it harder and harder to get back up. Missing birthdays, graduations, and the life I had, is a terrible pain. A pain, that even the weed can't soften. It is not that I want to worry anybody....I am just trying to find my way in this. One day, all this will be over, and life will be great...until then, we are doing the best we can. For all those peeps out there, like us...we KNOW, we will ALL be good. Don't give up, hang on, and grow the shit outta this plant...it is EVERYTHING!!!!! For all the peeps that are rooting for us, we thank you, and hope to bring you all the happy ending we hope for!!!!! Much love to my IC family........even in the worst of times, I find comfort here. Thanks.......stay HIGH(like me), cause it's better than being low!!!!!!!

Castout, the one thing about you is that you always find a way to come back no matter how much it hurts, and that is pure courage, dear. Thank you, it shows how linked we all here are together, no matter all the differences.....those are small things, you always inspire me to keep my head up, which i have been doing, thanks alot to ICMag.

RSD:

Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), formerly Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy or Causalgia, is a chronic progressive disease characterized by severe pain, swelling, and changes in the skin. It often affects an arm or a leg and may spread to another part of the body and is associated with dysregulation of the autonomic nervous system resulting in multiple functional loss, impairment, and disability. Though treatment is often unsatisfactory, early multimodal therapy can cause dramatic improvement or remission of the syndrome in some patients.[1] The International Association for the Study of Pain has proposed dividing CRPS into two types based on the presence of nerve lesion following the injury.

Type I, formerly known as reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD), Sudeck's atrophy, reflex neurovascular dystrophy (RND), or algoneurodystrophy, does not have demonstrable nerve lesions.
Type II, formerly known as causalgia, has evidence of obvious nerve damage.
The cause of this syndrome is currently unknown. Precipitating factors include injury and surgery, although there are documented cases that have no demonstrable injury to the original site.

You are in our thoughts!
