RSD AWARENESS

RSD is a syndrome where the nerves in your arms and legs send false pain signals to your brain. i'm telling you this because not many people know about this devastating issue, and many people have it without even knowing it. i'm also mentioning this, because i have RSD, and it needs to stop. i know your probably thinking, "how bad could a false pain symdrome be?" or "it's not even a real injury, so why is this girl whining about it?". I do realize it's a little jurastic to ask people miles away, to believe in a syndrome that they can't even see with their own eyes.

it has devastated me and my family for years now, and it once got to the point where i would have panic attacks when the doctor wanted to try a new "medical breakthrough" on me in hopes that it would cure me and many others. doctors have tried things from sticking my foot in warm water with minerals in it, to jamming a tube in my spine in order to block the pain signals from being sent to my brain. none of these things work, and this is only me. hundreds of thousands of people, from small children, to frail senior citizens, suffer from this desiese and the affects it has on them mentally or phisically. the truth is, i haven't slept for over 10 hours straight in over 4 years due to the feeling of fire and pins and needles claiming my left foot. many other people have it way worse than me, and i don't even explain what RSD sufferers feel when the upper stages of RSD hit them.

i fear very soon, that if they can't find a cure legal in america, i will have to live in a hospital for round the clock treatment. i am going to be homeschooled by internet, and i am losing toutch with my friends.the only thing keeping me going, is the fact that i can still draw, write, and play my guitar. me dreams will soon be lost, since it'd be a good idea for a rock star to be able to walk around on stage, or for an artist to be able to walk around in New York city. i will stop my whining now, and i'll give you a site to hear about other people like me, that suffer from this silent dream killer.
