Everyday she deals with the pain
Another day, another fire
Her own personal hell
That's what she tells herself
She gets up every morning
Feeling worse than the last
Her body can't decide
Agony?
Burning hell?
Some days are so painful
She just wants to hide
And wish it all away
Judged by people who don't even know
What she has to deal with
She parks in the handicap
You can't see it but the short distance
Sometimes feels like a mile
She wears sweats and fuzzy socks
So as not to irritate her skin and stoke the flames
She can't use ice or cold to dose the fire
In fear it may spread and engulf her in a blink
Walking in her shoes would be like walking on coals
This is my MOM
She is Beautiful and I Love Her
And she has one Really Stupid Disease
Another day, another fire
Her own personal hell
That's what she tells herself
She gets up every morning
Feeling worse than the last
Her body can't decide
Agony?
Burning hell?
Some days are so painful
She just wants to hide
And wish it all away
Judged by people who don't even know
What she has to deal with
She parks in the handicap
You can't see it but the short distance
Sometimes feels like a mile
She wears sweats and fuzzy socks
So as not to irritate her skin and stoke the flames
She can't use ice or cold to dose the fire
In fear it may spread and engulf her in a blink
Walking in her shoes would be like walking on coals
This is my MOM
She is Beautiful and I Love Her
And she has one Really Stupid Disease

I wrote this poem for my mom, who has RSD/CRPS. She got it when I was 5 years old in her right foot, then it spread to her leg and now is in both of her legs. So now she has had it for almost 15 years and she deals with it everyday. Earlier cases of RSD/CRPS happened during the Civil War to Soldiers who had to have amputations of their limbs. What happened was they would get their limb removed but would feel excruciating pain in the limb that they no longer had. This was called "Phantom Limb Syndrome."
Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD) and Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)
is a chronic pain condition that can affect any area of the body, but often affects an arm or a leg. This condition features a group of typical symptoms, including pain (often "burning" type), tenderness, and swelling of an extremity associated with varying degrees of sweating, warmth and/or coolness, flushing, discoloration, and shiny skin. RSD is also referred to as "complex regional pain syndrome," "the shoulder-hand syndrome," "causalgia," and "Sudeck's atrophy."
November is RSD/CRPS Awareness Month!!!
