Dealing with disabling illness.


http://www.healthcommunities.com/rsd/overview-of-rsd-crps.shtml


When we have to deal with disabling disease on a daily basis, at times the disease symptoms may seem overwhelming.  In those times, getting support at a support group helps the person dealing with disabling disease and it's symptoms, to cope.

We all have down days, but to a people dealing with chronic disease and pain, anxiety, a day of feeling down could turn into a long spell of feeling down.  There is help out there for everyone and you should contact your Physician and get them to refer to a support group so that people see they are not alone in the disease, and that disease does not define the person.

For we are not the disease, the disability!

I deal with RSD and other problems, FMS *Fibromyalgia syndrome, CFS *Chronic Fatigue, and Multi Chemical Sensitivity /Environmental Sensitivity.

I saw on the news yesterday, a story on a Brazilian blow out hair product that contains Formaldehyde.  Trust me when I tell you that Formaldehyde is dangerous, I would not use hair products that have Formaldehyde in them.

My journey along with disabling factors at times is overwhelming, yes and I just have to remind myself that I will get through the flare up and the fatigue and the severe and chronic pain.

Support groups and groups that raise money for research to find cures are great ways to help get through a journey with disabling disease.
