Hello Everyone,

Is anyone familiary with the term RSD, Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy? My friend has it since 1994 when he fell off a escalator and pushed his hands out to try to break his fall. Basically he is 24/7 chronic pain and has a broken arm for life. He's been through countless surgery's and back surgery's. It when the nervous system is damage and there is absolutely no cure for it. So basically he's in pain for the rest of his life .

Doctors have been perscribing him fentanly patches, 180MG oxycodone (or something close) 4times a day or as needed, morphine, ,25MG xanax, Ambien, and a bunch of other stuff.

In 2003 he decided to stop taking EVERYTHING cold turkey , no subs, or anything. He went through straight HELL I have no idea how he did it. Now adays he just take an Aleve, a Tylenol, or an Aspirin a few times a day (2 or 3 times a day, not each) and he claims to be fine though I can tell he's still in pain a lot once in a while, maybe 2-3 times a month.

Remember, im writing this in lamest terms to keep it short and understandable. Im not an expert on it im just sharing his experience and trying to be as accurate as I can.

Anyone else have experience with this? I think its a horrible dissability and we need a cure ASAP. If you know of any causes or charity groups let me know I would love to help people battling this horrific disability.

YOU JUST TOLD MY STORY WITH A SPINAL AND SHOULDER INJURY THROWN IN. I HAVE RSD/CRPS. I have information on it. I have to try to sleep right now but tomorrow I will post what I've learned about RSD

So sorry to hear about anybody having this condition. His story is similar to mine in many details. It's a terrible disorder to have. Will post about RSD tomorrow.

GOOD NIGHT ALL! I THINK I MIGHT BE ABLE TO SLEEP TONIGHT (SINCE I DIDN'T LAST NIGHT).

  8. D @ drdrizzy13: I liked Bryce Young at Bama but he just looks so small in the NFL lol.
  9. D @ drdrizzy13: He is actually surprising me. I was pissed when they drafted him. Shaueder threw for 360+ yds and 4 tds I was reading. I was kind of wanting Sanders but it's probably a mess that comes with it.
  10. L @ Layne_Cobain: @tiquanunderwood it’s alright bro we’ll sink then mothah lovin buccaneers …hopefully lol
  11. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: Yeah, Shough can move too. It was an entertaining game. Sorry about your loss :(
  12. L @ Layne_Cobain: He did @drdrizzy13 my boy is so pissed like you he wants them to tank for the draft
  13. D @ drdrizzy13: @Layne_Cobain Not gonna lie I was hating on Tyler Shough for a minute but he made some damn nice throws against the Panthers!
  14. L @ Layne_Cobain: @tiquanunderwood so dissapointing man led whole game and then can’t get some first downs to kill some clock and a stupid roughing penalty puts them in easy fg territory…oh well gotta move on I guess gonna have to sweep the bucs there’s other ways in but that’s the most straightforward
  15. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: @Layne_Cobain Looking great at halftime. Hope you're having a good tme.
  16. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: @Layne_Cobain Finally a solid week for us! Hoping you the same in 20 minutes!
  17. L @ Layne_Cobain: Awww man forgot my niece has her travel basketball game in my town at 430 promised her I’d go guess I’ll be watching big chunk of the game on my phone lol
  18. L @ Layne_Cobain: Haha forgot all about weeden…speaking of old let’s GO OLE MAN RIVERS!!! Go ravens too!!!
  19. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: ROOTING FOR YOUR CATS LAYNE COBAIN. FUCK SHOUGH (i actually kinda like him lol hes old like brandon weeden was)
