If we accept and acquiesce in the face of discrimination, we accept the responsibility ourselves and allow those responsible to salve their conscience by believing that they have our acceptance and concurrence. We should, therefore, protest openly everything . . . that smacks of discrimination or slander. Mary McLeod Bethune

RSDS has taken nearly 5 years of my life from me and my family. Awareness is critical. There is no cure, only remission. Proper diagnosis and treatment early on are the main keys to obtaining remission and only through awareness can those things be achieved.
Please join me in creating more awareness. Hopefully, in the future, we can eliminate the painful fire which burns silently in many of us with RSDS.
Friend, this cause is what has kept me in bed for nearly 5 years. There's barely any awareness and most people aren't diagnosed for several years. Unfortunately, the earlier you are diagnosed the better your chance is at achieving remission. Approximately 12% achieve remission and about 85% commit suicide to get away from the pain. There is no cure.
Please join me in bringing awareness to this cause. I, and others like myself suffering with RSDS/CRPS, would greatly appreciate it.
The Dry Eye Remedy is an excellent book giving information you can use to help combat chronic dry eye. I'm so glad I sent for it and there is nothing to lose, as SWHR offers it free! Wonderful help for me and others dealing with dry eyes.
