Hi my name is Holly and I am new to the group. I was diagnosed with Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy in 1993, since then I have had to use a wheelchair to get out and about. I also have Hypermobility and Sciatica. I am hoping to make some friends on here and to talk to people who understand how it feels to be disabled. Thank you for letting me join the group. ?

    Hi Ami2301 thank you for your reply  Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (aka Chronic regional pain syndrome) is a condition that effects the sympathetic nervous system, usually in one of the limbs, causing severe pain and burning to the limb. There's a bit more info here.
