Living with RSD/CRPS

My favourite musical since I was 17 was put on at the Panasonic Theatre by Theatre Sheridan! My almamater!!! Jonathan Larson's "RENT." It is an amazing musical about life, love, friendships and living in the present moment and forgetting regret. It was amazing! This was the track I was on before getting RSD/CRPS! To be a professional performer. I was even at a prestigious school practically guaranteeing me a career in my chosen field. Then RSD.... I am now inspired yet again to make a run at some kind of performing career. It is and has always been what I should be doing. Today I make the step forward to lose weight, get pain under control and try to get a talent agent within the year. I am on my way up, I don't know how, but I WILL be famous an have a career doing what I love!!!!

Just yesterday I learned that two people with RSD/CRPS decided to end their own life. This illness is something that is very hard to handle and often leaves its victims feeling very, very alone and desperate. Please learn all you can about this illness and please share and make others aware to help people get the understanding and support needed. I myself am sitting in the waiting room of my Pain Management Centre waiting my turn to get my lidocaine infusion. I got absolutely no sleep at all:((
