Andrea,

How long have you had CRPS? My personal experience with it is that I had "both" cold and hot symptoms for about the first year. After that first year, it was almost exclusively hot (burning, with measurable temp. increase on the skin) symptoms. I've heard of a number of others that have had similar experiences.

This darn condition can morph and change, it certainly has many things that can be similar and common with many, but almost everyone has their own unique story and set of symptoms to deal with. For instance, I am one individual that has never had any "hypersensitivity", which is an extremely common symptom.

Where do you have CRPS and how are you treating it? What meds, have you had any physical therapy, etc.? Do you have a pain management doctor?

BTW, I'm from Minnesota too! I lived for 23 years in New Hope. Now I live in the Melrose area. Welcome to the forum!
