Do you live with or know someone who lives with chronic pain? Do you know the type (name) of the condition that causes it? I have Chronic Nerve pain called Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy and been suffering with it for 20+ years

I'm so sorry. I read a lot about RSD a few years ago when I started having a lot of pain for no reason and couldn't figure out why. It turns out I have fibromyalgia. I think there should be a lot more done about RSD and a lot more in the media about it and those suffering with it. I had never heard about it and those suffering with it. It's a horrible thing that it's not more well-known and in the public eye so more can be done for those like you who are suffering. I pray you will get all the help you need.
