Tracy Jones RSD Benefit Barrel Race
- Friday, July 11th
Tuttle Round Up Club Arena - Tuttle, OK
Tracy Jones has been dealing with Reflex Sympathetic
Dystrophy Syndrome (RSD) for several years now. She is married and is a
mother of two sons. Her entire family is very supportive and do all they can,
but the medical bills are insurmountable. Her family has been involved with many
equine activities over the years. Tracy is also trying to help others by creating a support
system for RSD patients. Her website is www.freewebs.com/oklahomarsdcrpsupport.com. Lona Smith of Tri-K along with other friends and family
members want to put on a benefit barrel race to help her. This is an open jackpot.
A concession will be available. All
proceeds from jackpot and concession (after expenses) will go to the benefit of Tracy
and her efforts.
RSD pain can be anywhere
in the body where there are nerves. Most commonly in the four extremities but some people have it in other areas such as eyes,
ears, back, face, etc. What does
it feel like? Well, if you had it in your hand, imagine your hand was doused in gasoline, lit on fire, and then kept
that way 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and you knew it was never going to
be put out. Now imagine it both hands, arms, legs, feet; well, you get the picture. The
second component to RSD is what is called Allodynia which is an extreme sensitivity
to touch, sound, and/or vibration. Imagine that same hand now has the skin all burned off and is completely raw. Next, rub
some salt on top of it and then rub some sandpaper on top of that! THAT is allodynia! Any
normal touch will cause pain; your clothing, the gentle touch of a loved one, a sheet, rain, shower, razor, hairbrush, shoe,
someone brushing by you in a crowded hallway, etc. In addition, sounds, especially loud or deep sounds and vibrations, will
also cause pain; a school bell, thunder, loud music, crowds, singing, yelling, sirens, traffic, kids screaming, loud wind,
even the sound in a typical movie theatre. Imagine going through your daily life where everything that you touch, or that
touches you, where most every noise around you from a passing car or plane to children playing, causes you pain. In addition
to the enormous pain you are already experiencing from the RSD itself. Imagine living with that pain and allodynia 24 hours
a day, every day, for months, years, and longer.
