Dear Lynn:
Dear Lynn, I am a Chronic Pain Sufferer, and was diagnosed over 2 years ago with Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy. In the past several months my condition has seriously deteriorated and one of the new concerns is Ankylosing Spondylitis. I was just diagnosed by an MRI, plus a herniated disc. and hemangeomias. I'm 42 years young and falling apart. After reviewing this condition, alot of things make more sense to me. The RSD is another one of the rare diseases that they really don't know much about, but I was having symptoms that were not consistant with just RSD, and know something else is going on. I am seeing one of my spesialists tomarrow and am going to reqest that I have the test done for the antigen. I would really like to visit with you futher on this subject. If you are agreeable to this, let's exchange telephone numbers. E-mail your # to me, so we might speak further. I have so many questions. I can be reached at my e-mail address and have had to retire, as these conditions do not allow for much more than, a lot of rest,very low stress. and basically blows the chances for making any kinds of plans, as you never know what you will be feeling like in the hours, ahead. I look forward to visiting with you. Sincerely, Sara SBCrites@aol.com
