Just responding to your Vit C question mlerae

Vitamin C taken daily before and after surgery has been proven to reduce the incidence of spread in CRPS patients. I suspect some surgeons and docs don't mention it because compared to the arsenal of meds (they think they have) at their disposal it seems pretty laughable...but it is definitely worth taking. A lot of us take it daily anyway, and it certainly isn't doing any harm.

Your immune system needs vitamin C to keep strong and fight off infections and illness, and it's also quite common for us to not be getting as much as we need.

Take care and have a better day,

Bram.
