RSD(s)-CRPS Advisory is an information, guidance, support, resource and research
friendly adviser relating to RSD(S)/CRPS, Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome,
known also as, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. Having been diagnosed myself in
2003, having a permanent Spinal Cord Stimulator (SCS) implanted in 2006, having had
several Lumbar Sympathetic Nerve Blocks and having graduated from the Compass
Center for Functional Restoration on July 17, 2009 in Sacramento California it
continues to be my passion to promote awareness and offer support to others like
me, to their families and friends so that they too might learn about this painful and
complex, often progressive and debilitating neurological pain disorder which affects
the sympathetic nervous system commonly known as the "fight or flight".
A support system is necessary to achieve the best possible future for both the
patient, survivor and their families.

The Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome Association (RSDSA) was founded in 1984 to promote public
and professional awareness of Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD), also known as Complex Regional Pain
Syndrome (CRPS). Our website is designed to give patients, family members, and healthcare professionals the
stories. RSDSA does not accept advertising for this website. This summary is from the RSDSA website.
We believe in RSDSA as one of the oldest and most knowledgeable of all. We thank them for all the difference to
teach us, and you, professionally and compassionately. Thank you again RSDSA!

The four of us are just kids, kids with something horrible Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD) otherwise
known as Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). RSD/CRPS is a nasty nerve disorder that makes our lives
complete chaos. It effects tons of people, yet no one knows about it. We don't blame you for not knowing but
We aim to change that. We're out for awareness and we need your help to get it. We're all young, having started
this myspace when we were all 15 but we believe in change. Try and learn about the disease, or if you have it
invisible anymore. (These are the very words of the author(s) of FightRSD)
Site Opperators: Anabel 16, MI, Ashley 16, CA, Kara 17, FL, Nikki 16, NY (The girls are older now)
FightRSD should be commended for their courage. Our children are our future and they fight to make a brighter
future for all of us. We thank you!
