Hi everyone, please remember you are not alone with the RSD/CRPS, that is why we are here :-)
Songbird, if the crying lasts more than a week, you may want to see your doctor and consider an anti-depressant. There is no shame in it! It is medication for a chemical imbalance and it has saved my life. Some meds (for example Cymbalta) are also known to help with chronic pain. Talk with a trusted friend or spiritual counselor. If those things don't work, a professional therapist may be needed. I found one who specializes in patients with chronic pain which was great for me. Best wishes for improving health.
