If you want a chance to survive in High School you need some sort of pain relief, you also need to make sure the school knows that the slightest trauma can cause this to spread and any wound may never heal.

Kemily - don't let the wounds thing freak you out - this is extreme cases. After 4 years, you've probably had the odd skin injury already and know how your body reacts and heals. BUT we do need to be careful with things like needles (ask for paediatric ones, and only in a non-CRPS limb if you can), BP cuffs (non-CRPS arm if poss.) and being careful with wounds until they heal. Daily vitamin C (500mg daily) has been proven to reduce the risk of spread, and I think quite a few here take it (not recommended if you suffer from kidney stones though).
