Hi I'm Kathi. I've had RSD/CRPS since July 2004. I woke up from back surgery with the disease and a drop left foot. For those of you who don't know about it, this is the most painful disease known on the McGill Pain scale. I've fought like hell to live through this disease. I have a spinal stimulator, actually my second implant. I take a lot of medication to manage the pain. So much that I can't work any more. I lost a career I loved.
I created this site to help the young folks fighting this illness. It's hard and a lot of days are no fun because of the severe pain. But 12 years later I'm still here living each day one at a time. Kathi
