From birth injury, to Trigeminal Neuralgia, Occipital Neuralgia, Intercostal Neuralgia, to Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), to Transverse Myelitis (TM), all in five years and I am going to talk about it all in hopes that this could help someone else like me.

CRPS/RSD Resources

When first being diagnosed, I wanted to get ahold of as much information as I could

possibly find because there is POWER in EDUCATION!

Very first page to visit is rsds.org:

Second most helpful page of resources:

https://rarediseases.org/rare-diseases/reflex-sympathetic-dystrophy-syndrome/

Third Most helpful page:

I’m always looking to find others like myself as connecting with others that share your illness and understand is more important & healing than I ever would of known.

One thing that I have found helpful to carry is this card. I have been to the ER so many times where they look at me sideways because I look normal at first glance.
