Your post truly breaks my heart. I know that being an adult living with RSD is difficult enough and I can only imagine what you must be going through as a mother. Does she miss any school due to her pain at all? My first thought was maybe home schooling? But then she wouldnt be with her friends and keep going on to live life as normal as possible. I am not sure what I can even say to help you with that situation but it seems to me that the school should have it more accessable as there are those that are handicapped. I dont know where you live or how the laws work for that. It is something to look into though. Are there any other smaller schools she could go to?

My heart goes out to Sadie, I will add her to my prayers! As for the school I might even think of changing her school? May seem drastic but this is a drastic condition. And until we get the word out and folks start hearing about this RSD we are going to continualy run into obsticles such as your daughter! I am so sorry she has to go through this, but my advice would just be to not concern yourself so much with the whys of it but head straight for the what do we do nows!! God be with you and your daughter, may he heal her from this suffering!
