You're welcome

There's a make of earplugs specifically for plane travel and they work really well of you suffer from ear problems in the air (I do!). I only know that Boots used to sell them, maybe best to check online.

I think some of the online videos and stuff can be very upsetting, and are best avoided whether you're a sufferer or not. The worst case stories are very distressing, but then you also get people with terrible problems with diabetes and arthritis and MS and lots of other conditions. All have their extreme cases....sadly the bad CRPS photos do really scare the pants off most folk. I can't bear to look at them. I've switched off some potentially informative videos because of the appalling pictures. It's the same with charity tv ads that are too graphic - I just can't watch some things. I know they are happening to real people, but the images stick in my head forever.

It's nice when family or friends take an interest in finding out about what you have. Wish some of mine would!

Have a good evening

Bram.
