RSD/CRPS 4 a Cure

This. This is my new years resolution. Because fearless isn’t about not being afraid- it actually the opposite. I think being fearless is doing what your most scared and doing whatever it takes to reach your goals. This is the quality that I want people to see in me. I want them to see how I am facing my fears. See how I am going to work until I pass out to conquer touch. See how I will spend hours in the studio and gym to reach “perfection”. If I am going to overcome RSD. I have no other choice but to become fearless.
By the way thank you all SO MUCH for your prayers my burns are healed and my ankle is getting stronger will hopefully need no crutches or cane by saturday!! Keep fighting! What are your new years resolutions?? #RSD #CRPS #rsdcrps #rsdcrps4acure #quote #quotes #rsdsucks #motivation #fearless #inspiration #keep #going #newyearsresolution (at PLEASE COMMENT)

If I stopped when I was tired I would never get anything done. This disease is exhausting and stressful (literally). I have to set goals. For example when I was on the elliptical on tuesday I wanted to be able to do 4 miles in 30 mins. That meant I needed to stay between a 8.5-11 speed to get there. The whole time I made small goals: •just get to the first mile •man that was a 6 min mile try for another one •oh come on your 1/2 way there! •only 10 mins left push it! •harder better faster stronger •only one mile left push it! •only .2 of a mile needed to get 4 miles push it!!
And before I knew it. I was done 4 miles in 27 mins and 10 of those mins was on level 2 resistance. I didn’t stop when I was tired o stopped when I was done. I encourage you to set a achievable goal and then don’t quit when you are tired but when you are done. #rsd #CRPS #rsdcrps #rsdcrps4acure #quote #quotes #rsdsucks #inspiration #keep #going #till #done

I know RSD sucks. Ok I get it. I have it. But what we do with any situation including RSD is what counts. Look at all the blessings. I have something called a Blessings Jar on my dresser. I write down on note cards all of the blessings in my life and when I am upset or feeling down I read them. Everyday i try to go on pointe. Somedays I feel accomplished. Other days I want to curl up in a ball in cry but I have to keep trying and fighting for my body. I have to keep trying because once I let go it’s all over. So don’t keep trying for me. Keep trying for you, for your family, for all the people who love you. If you feel like you can’t keep trying for yourself then do it for them. So please don’t stop trying because your already in pain you might as well keep trying. You have everything to lose by not trying and have everything to gain if it works. #rsd #crps #rsdcrps #rsdcrps4acure #quote #quotes #rsdsucks #inspiration #keep #trying #please (Taken with Instagram)

I know that sometimes the pain is so overwhelming that you wonder how much longer you can take it. But I PROMISE you that this pain that you are going through now is for a reason. I have NO idea what it could be but I found mine out of this mess— and I believe you can find yours too. See everyone feels like this at times and that includes me. But we have to remember we were put here for a reason so I know at least for me I want to know what it is. #rsd #CRPS #rsdcrps #rsdcrps4acure #quote #quotes #inspiration #rsdsucks #reason #to #keep #going (Taken with Instagram)

Keep moving forward can be so hard. My dance teacher and I have created a new therapy for RSD and we call it normal life and it is really hard and there r days when I don’t want to work and days when I dint want to get up but I have to keep moving forward because I know that Ivan beat this disease even if the medical world is telling me it’s not possible but guess what—- they said I would not be able to go in pointe and in 4 weeks I’m performing on pointe when a few months ago it was “impossible”—- I’m gonna beat this and I’m gonna defeat the odds and stay in school work hard and still dance and live life. I know it’s hard but remember I am always here for support and keep moving forward with life (even if you don’t have RSD) #rsd #crps #rsdcrps #rsdcrps4acure #quote #quotes #painful #keep #moving #forward #YOU #CAN #DO #IT!!!
