    Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome (RSD) is also known as Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). RSD/CRPS is a chronic multi-symptom, multi-system, neurological syndrome usually affecting one or more extremities, but may affect virtually any part of the body. It is characterized by: severe burning pain, pathological changes in bone and skin, excessive sweating, tissue swelling, and extreme sensitivity to touch. RSD/CRPS development does not appear to depend on the magnitude of the injury. The sympathetic nervous system seems to assume an abnormal function after an injury. It is as though the pain receptors to the brain become stuck in the on position indicating that there is a current injury to a region of the body. For the best description of RSD/CRPS, and related articles, go to: www.rsds.org/3/clinical_guidelines/index.html

About me:

RSDLaughter.com is a support forum for a condition called Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy, which is a debilitating chronic pain condition. Although, we are mainly aimed at RSD support and most of our members have RSD, we welcome all people with chronic pain conditions. Pain is pain and we all want the same thing....RELIEF. During this journey to relief from this monster, we need someone to lean on, someone who has been there, someone who understands and that is what this group is here for. Our members are very caring and friendly people. Right now we are a small, close knit group who laugh, cry and get angry together. We share so much more of our lives than chronic pain. We share recipes, interests, books, music, movies, jokes, etc. We celebrate happy occasions and we support each other when one of us is down. We aren't just friends, we are family.

Who I'd like to meet:

We would love to have anyone join us at our our forum RSDLaughter.com that is dealing with not only RSD/CRPS but any form of chronic pain. Whether you are a patient, caregiver or someone who wants to know about this condition. We look forward to getting to know you!! The Gang at RSD Laughter
