The interview with that girl did make me think of it Lottie, but I'm not sure if the media would be an interested in a 40-something woman with the same thing......and I worry that it would come across as a 'poor me' thing. I'd love to get awareness increased in my area (I wrote to my MP a few times lol, no interest there!) but do I want to be 'Brambledog, a 40-something mum of two, who has CRPS'? What if that becomes my tag line? I'm not just the CRPS (although some days it does feel like that!!!), and I have a job and my children and husband to think of.

Plus....I'm not very photogenic these days. Never really was! Not sure if I've got the confidence for the bright lights and microphone now. I was on the TV news once very briefly years ago for something, and I know how strangely the interview you do can differ from what the finished item looks like.

I think it is a fab idea though. It's just a question of whether the media folk will be interested enough. I suppose we can always ask!

Major respect to anyone who goes for it!!

Bram.
