Danielle Recovery in Hospital Natural Horsemanship Horse Program for ADD ADHD and Autistic Kids Danielle Herb Drop Your Reins

Danielle has been hospitalized several times this year to find out what has been causing her pain.

She has been given a diaognosis of RSD or CRPS which is an something that medical doctors do not know much about. Here is what the RSD/CRPS websites have to say about it…..

What is Reflex

Sympathetic Dystrophy

Syndrome (CRPS/RSD)?

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), also called Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome (RSD) is a chronic neurological disease affecting an estimated 1.5 to more than 6 million Americans. CRPS/RSD is a malfunction of part of the nervous system and the immune system as they respond to tissue damage from trauma, such as an accidental injury or medical procedure.

Even a minor injury, such as a sprain or deep bruise, might trigger CRPS/RSD causing nerves to misfire, sending constant pain signals to the brain.

The term Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) was adopted by the International Association for the Study of Pain.

Who can get CRPS/RSD?

Anybody! Anyone can get CRPS/RSD at any age, but studies show that it is more common in people between the ages of 25 and 55, and is more frequently seen in women than in men. It used to be considered rare in children, but there has been a recent increase in the number of cases among adolescents and young adults.

CRPS/RSD is a physical disease

CRPS/RSD is a physical disease. The symptoms may be caused by conditions that are not easily seen, prompting others to say, “But you look so well.”

Symptoms of both (any combination)

• Pain: constant, moderate to severe

• Muscle spasm, loss of motion and use of the affected area

• Swelling that may come and go

• Skin Changes: Color, dryness, excessive sweating, excessive or decreased

Danielle is doing much better the past two days and we are learning a lot. As I look back over the past videos of our work with Drop Your Reins and the kids, I am seeing that this is another challenge for Danielle and myself and as we embrase it we are growing and learning more about how the mind and body works. It is so powerful.

I will try to upday more often and share any updates and insights with you. I feel like we are in a college doctorate course on Mind, Body and Spirit connection.

We are so blessed by the many people who are sharing their love and wisdom as we grow in our own awareness during this blessing.
