Hello my name is Dian: Up until 1995,I was very happy working as an assistant in Oral Surgery and Paramedic! Till i needed a simple surgery to repair carpal tunnel in my left hand,the surgeon told me he had hit the nerve and artery,causing permanent damage! RSD, Than in 1997,had a car accident,T-boned,broken jaw concussion and bruised kidney, continued care for hand.The last thing i needed was another problem, 2000,Another,accident,i was a passenger and my feet got stuck under the dashboard,my left foot and ankle needed to be reconstructed! ! In a cast for almost a year, with severe pain, When the cast came off,i needed to relearn to walk again, with a rebuilt foot and ankle that now has severe RSD, and is a lovely shade of red/purple/ white/just awful, As if this isnt bad enough i began getting fevers and mouth sores, hair was falling out, felt like i had the flu, all the time, now i was diagnosed with lupus as well!!! The nightmare doesnt end does it??? We NEED A CURE!!! RSD HAS BEEN AROUND SINCE THE CIVAL WAR, ITS TIME TO PAY ATTENTION TO THE MILLIONS OF US SUFFERING IN PAIN,WE ARE ASKING FOR A CURE NOW! PLEASE! THIS is my story or at least the gest of it!!
