Hello, my name is Maria, and I am a 23 year old, former collegiate distance runner recently diagnosed with Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD), a progressive and incurable nerve disease with the main symptom being chronic, debilitating nerve pain. I used to run 50 miles a week, and now, I have difficulty standing for more than 5-10 minutes.
I just wanted to say hello!
I keep a blog about my journey with RSD. Please feel free to check it out and spread it around if you enjoy it! http://prefontaine44.blogspot.com/
