IMHO, yes. Ive read research that suggests it, but the field of CRPS research is a diverse one because there is so little definite understanding...we need more before they can say for sure. Maybe there are subtypes that are, and others that aren't about our immune response.
I'm interested in the fact that so many of us have other auto-immune problems... I'm a coeliac, and I know there are more CRPS sufferers than there should be who also have it.
I believe that the suggested auto-immune connection is the reason for the experimental ivIG treatment. It's another treatment where some claim fab results, and others no change at all. Clearly CRPS is a complex beast that works its way in each of us slightly differently.....
I like research that has a definite yes or no conclusion. Shame that's a rare beast too!
