HOW AND WHEN DID YOU GET RSD?
I got RSD in February 2004, when my ex-husband slammed the back of my head and neck against concrete stairs.
IN WHAT WAYS HAS IT AFFECTED YOUR LIFE?
RSD has made it harder for me to do most things, but it has made my faith and determination stronger.
DO YOU HAVE A GOOD SUPPORT SYSTEM?
I have a very supportive church, full of friends, and a supportive husband.
DOES FAITH PLAY A PART IN YOUR STRUGGLE OR YOUR STAMINA?
Yes, indeed. If I had nothing to believe in, my life would be pointless.
HOW HAVE YOU RE-INVENTED YOURSELF?
I have started an online support group for RSD-ers, and I’ve become an advocate for RSD Awareness through my website and my artwork.
HAS ANYTHING GOOD COME FROM THIS TRIAL?
Yes. I've gained faith. I found a wonderful husband. I'm more active in my children’s lives. I've started taking care of myself. I'm kind to everyone and I now have more respect for others.
WHAT THINGS DO YOU MISS THE MOST?
I miss nursing, long walks, and traveling.
WHAT DO YOU WANT THE GENERAL PUBLIC TO KNOW ABOUT YOU AND/OR YOUR DISEASE?
I want them to know people aren't faking for medications, and that RSD changes your life.
I want to make women aware that this could be them; having to live in agony constantly, only because they were too scared to leave.
