Posted by twinklev

Our Group originated to help inform, guide and support those diagnosed with Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome aka Complex Regional Pain Syndrome/Causalgia. For the families and friends of. Nearly everyone with RSD/CRPS will also have Fibromyalgia, although not everyone with Fibromyalgia will have ever have RSD/CRPS. RSD/CRPS is a Neuropathic pain Condition, Fibromyalgia isn’t. Fibromyalgia is still very painful (I know, I have it, too)

We are now expanding our group to offer the same support to all those struggling with Chronic Pain. If you are struggling with a chronic pain condtion of any kind or know someone who is, please let them know about us. We look forward to meeting you

We are a caring, loving, compassionate and understanding group of people who have been through a lot, yet we are not our without faults. We’ve not only endured pain, but surgeries, multiple diagnosis’, dealt with depression, anxiety, fatigue, insomnia. We’ve been mis understood, put down, been called drug seeker’s, addicts and more. Many of us have been alienated from family and friends.

A support system is necessary to achieve the best possible chance at a quality of life.

Our atmosphere is often playful, laughing and fun loving. Laughter is the best medicine and distraction ever! We will cry together, encourage one another, lift each other up when we fall. If you have an issue with another, please don’t hold malice in your heart… let it go. The stress and the tensing of your muscles will only cause you more pain. Breathe in, breathe out.

People sometimes have bad days, say things they don’t mean, say things they perhaps do mean, but pain often speaks louder than words themselves. Words can be let go, pain cannot be.

Chronic pain regardless of what the condition, disease or illness is.. is still pain. Neuropathic pain, Neuralgia, Fibromyalgia, Post Cancer Pain, Diabetic Neuropathy it’s all painful.

We want you to have an at ease, calm and peaceful experience.

This Group was created for you the people since it’s birth.

We welcome you, please join us!

RSD(S)-CRPS Advisory Info & Support Group

Posted by twinklev

Support Groups are necessary for those who need understanding and comfort when dealing with chronic illnesses other’s don’t understand. We offer one you can feel at home in.

RSD(S)-CRPS Advisory Info & Support Group

Years ago I had an RSD Support Group at MySpace. At the time it was one of the largest support group for RSD/CRPS there. As MySpace went through its changes and removing some features, I went to work as a volunteer Support Leader for MD Junction at the Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Support Forum. I’ve been a Leader there since 2009 and second to the top in seniority.

Since I lost my group at MySpace, I waited to create another of my own until I felt confident with the venue I would decide to hold it at. Since millions of people are on Facebook for various reasons I chose to create it there since there are several options available and a very large and spread out community of pain patients.

Less than a year ago I created the RSD(S)-CRPS Advisory Info & Support Group. I was slow on the start up since within a week of creating it, I ended up in a severe and long lasting flare up. The Group is doing well and growing at a steady pace.

This time I am not running solo. In the past I’ve been an advocate and spokesperson for RSD/CRPS, promoting, advertising, endless hours of research, writing essays and articles, sharing accurate information, staying updated, maintaining my website etc the best that I could. All by myself. It’s really hard. At least for me these last couple of years. I’m in my 11th year of CRPS. My energy is minimal.

Now I have someone to work with me. And currently we’re both working on fundraising and awareness projects for the Power of Pain Foundation as a team and in conjunction with our group. My Co Administrator Wanda will be raising awareness via 2 Expo’s and I’ll be doing so by holding a balloon release project.

We’re also supporting the POPF via Causes. Our page is called “Help the Power of Pain Foundation Assist Those with RSD/CRPS & Other Neuropathic Pain Conditions”

Our group is devoted to the support and guidance of RSD/CRPS patients, family and friends of.

Our mission is to teach and be taught…

…It’s our hope to educate and learn.

We’re a family oriented group. Caring and compassionate. Stop by and take a peek. We would love to have you join us and become part of our online family.

We have a Wonderful Co Administrator (Wanda) and Great Group Leader’s. Our discussions include pain management, the pain we endure on a daily basis, medications, alternative methods of pain control, the use of vitamins and supplements, depression, biofeedback, cognitive beliefs, coping strategies, flare up protocols, clinical trials, various therapies and techniques, meditation, yoga, the use of distraction and modalities, physical therapy, each other and so much more.

We also allow you to share other RSD/CRPS related information sites, books, videos, including your own website, blog, foundation, organization, or media pages. This is for the purpose of spreading further awareness and information around the web and hopefully off also.

All we ask is that you don’t spam us.

We would also be thankful if you shared us with others as well.
