Dang, we can't put ourselves in bubblewrap now can we? I know it's confusing.
I don't think i've turned into a hypochondriac because I always poo-pooed off going to the Dr. unless it was an emergency or during pregnancy
Lol. Nothing so exciting or useful I'm afraid! It was completely banal - I was going out to the laundry room and caught my hand on a bit of wire sticking out of the gate, then bashed my thumb into the door lock on the way back in with the basket....

I too was always keen to avoid the doctor - even now I don't go as much as I probably should, mainly because my GP doesn't know, understand or take seriously my CRPS, and generally doesn't fill me with confidence. The only doc I'm keen to see every now and then is my pain specialist - she might not be able to offer me much practical help, but she does understand the disease itself, and has been very supportive. She also understands my fears and frustrations, and let's me talk about how I feel. More than any other doc can do for me at the moment

Bubble wrap is not an option!! A life in bubbles is not much of a life at all...

Take care AZ-Di, and hope you get some sleep tonight. Thanks for being so thoughtful

Bram.
