Ashley’s Journey with RSD

Ashley is 27 years old, and she has been living w/Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy for 13 years. RSD causes nerves in the body to misfire and sends constant pain signals to the brain which makes the body feel like it's on fire 24/7. Usually starting in one area, it spreads throughout the body. Since being diagnosed w/RSD, Ashley has acquired numerous diseases including: RA, trigeminal neuralgia, POTS, dry eyes, & more. She dreamed of being a nurse so she could help people but had to give up her dream and is now on disability. As a family, we do what we can to distract her from the pain, but what really helps her is Taylor Swift. She inspires Ashley to fight through the pain, even when she's at her lowest. Ashley has gone to every Taylor Swift concert in St. Louis, and her ultimate dream is to one day meet her idol. She wishes to relay to Taylor how much her music means to her. She's the strongest, kindest person we know, and she manages to smile through her pain. She has such a generous, caring heart and always puts others before herself. Having the chance to meet Taylor in person would give her a lifetime of happiness!
