Oh yeah, when I was first diagnosed I read something (don't rmemeber what) and I overreacted and thought it would eventually kill me.
Since then, if I understand correctly RSD/CRPS [I]can[I]open the door to other illness/disease because I guess it somehow compromises our immune system?
When I went for my 1st colonoscopy a few weeks ago I was so worried if during the proceedure I would have to have any polup(s) cut out it would spread the CRPS. That Dr. told me that RSD/CRPS would not kill me directly even if at times I wished it would but that colon cancer would. I guess he thought he was funny. Thankfully no pollups found and no cutting.
I think I worry more now about it spreading and reducing the Quality of life even more.
