Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy and Paula Abdul and me

My dear A& F friends .. I was so happy when Paula Abdul came out stating she has RSD.. it has helped people like me not feel like we are invisible with this dreaded syndrome.
I am trying to find other people out there who have chronic pain syndrome called Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy. I have it and wanted to see if there are other people who need information or guidence about it.
anyone?

I hadn't even heard of it. And I'm sorry, it sounds painful 
If you don't mind me asking...
Type one or type two? And how long have you had it?

Aww.. thank you both for your concern. If you go to the website
www.rsds.org it has an incredible amount of information about this.
Also. I'm featured in a book by Elanis Jury called "Positive Options for Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy" and it talks about options people have to help themselves navigate through life with this.
People have two kinds of nervous systems autonomic and sympathetic.
My sympathetic system is on the "on " mode all the time, telling me I have pain in areas where I don't have any trauma. so I've had to learn to "calm' the pain by making it something different or change my focus to something else. It takes a lot of concentration and there are days where I just can't do it.. so I praise the good days and lumber through the bad days...
If you know anyone who's afflicted with this , I'd love to talk to them.
thanks

Wow. Just, wow.
It sounds like a terrible problem. Hopefully the good days will become more plentiful.

Hey, no problem.
I know how frustrating it is not to be able to talk about something cause others can't really understand
It sounds like a very painful disease and I'm sorry for everyone who has to deal with it 
I really hope it will get better for you somehow.

That was so great of you, Frankie.
Hopefully they will find a cure for RSD, soon. Is there anything that you can take to ease the pain?

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by type one or two?
I've had what my doctor described as "one of the worst cases I've seen"
simply because I couldn't walk,I was in a wheelchair and if someone just blew on my skin, I went through the ceiling with pain... forget socks and shoes..
but I was lucky... I had several interventions plus esperimental drug therapy and physical therapy, bio-feedback, accupuncture and medical message..and I'm back at work.. I'm not 100% , I don't know if I ever will be , but I'm better than I was..
Does that help you?
