Don't feel bad about posting rsdno. Why should you conceal the years you have had this thing?
Maybe someone was just having a very bad day and struck out. It happens. I don't recall seeing a post from you that made me feel like you were saying you have it much worse and we should all stop complaining! It's not a competition
I for one find it amazingly helpful to know that someone out there has been dealing with CRPS for so long and can still laugh about it and live life in any way at all. It gives me hope. Some days the fear of what the future holds is overwhelming, and to know that it is manageable for all that time gives me a rock to lean against.
Keep posting and stay positive. It's like a shot in the arm

Thanks.
Bram.
