I can remember when I first developed CRPS if I would rub my hand against something I would actually look down at it because it felt so much like I had damaged it that I expected to see at least a scrape. But there would be nothing because in reality I had only grazed against something ever so lightly.

Sometimes I can't help but think....wow, that's pretty cool.
