We regret to inform you that the Tucson RSD Care & Share Support Group has disbanded for the foreseeable future due to the lack of attendance at meetings.  

The phone numbers listed on this page are still good if you are interested in just talking to someone who was involved in the group about your situation and get some general information and guidance;  it is our hope that we can compile a list of former members and future interested parties with contact information so that you can create your own support system within that set of people.  If you would like to be put on our email list, please send your information that you want shared (if anything other than email address be specific, ie which phone number(s) etc.) to connealy700@gmail.com.

Meanwhile, we have recently created a Facebook page so that you can have a base for creating a support system of your own.  Feel free to view, post and invite others to it.

It is named RSD/CRPS Support - Tucson Care & Share and is located at this link :

We wish you the best of luck with your struggles and hope you find the support you are seeking.

Holiday Luncheon is this Saturday, Dec. 8

Tucson RSD Care & Share welcomes you to attend our HOLIDAY LUNCHEON this Saturday, December 8, 2012, starting at 11:30 am;  it will be at the El Parador Restaurant, 2744 E. Broadway Blvd. (between Tucson Blvd. and Country Club).

Our group has had our holiday gathering there the past several years and it has always been enjoyable, with a Mexican platter for the meal (no cost to RSDers) in a semi-private room with fireplace.  We welcome pain sufferers and their families, caretakers, friends and supporters.  The luncheon is moderately priced (under $10) for non-pain sufferers;  the group will pay for the guest of honor, YOU!  It's a great way to make connections with other chronic pain sufferers in an informal, relaxed environment.

Regular meetings will resume on March 8, 2013, 3 pm, at the Masonic Lodge on Mabel - details will be posted and emails sent prior to that date, and are available in previous posts.  Call Sheila, 744-5930, with questions of any kind, to be placed on our email list, to advise if you have several people coming to the luncheon...  (not required, and don't let failure to RSVP keep you from coming on Dec. 8, but if you know you have several people attending, an RSVP would be helpful).

We hope to see you Saturday!

Don't Bear It Alone!

Hello all,

A quick note to say that our next meeting will be a Holiday Luncheon on December 8, 2012.  Details are forthcoming.  

I apologize for not listing the Sept. meeting as I was ill.  Just remember, though, that our meetings occur every third month (quarterly) on the second Saturday of that month.  The time and place are listed on previous posts.  

Anyone coming across this page, feel free to phone me, Sheila, with any questions, concerns, comments...  this group isn't just about those meetings, it's about outreach and information and support -- call if you're newly diagnosed with RSD and don't know where to turn, or if you're an RSD veteran just having a bad day -- or, really, anywhere in between.

I am approaching, at the end of this month, my 17-year 'anniversary' of my injuries which led to RSD.  I don't think there's an aspect of this disease that hasn't affected me in one form or another, and also, having been a paralegal, I know all about the legal issues that often come along with injury/disease, whether it's a civil lawsuit, a claim against government (beware, there is often only 60 days to file forms with government, for example if you fell on a public sidewalk) or whether it's a Workman's Compensation claim or a Social Security Disability situation...

If you're just having a bad day, call us for that, too.  We're not always available immediately, but we WILL get back to you.  Remember, we're pain sufferers, too, and we have bad days where we can't/don't pick up the phone!!  It doesn't mean we don't care.  

Hang in there!  And, don't bear it alone!
