Hi

It's a subject that's very interesting and relevant given the autoimmune direction in CRPS research at the moment. Both seem to be due to the autoimmune system not working as it should...although quite how and why is still up for serious debate!

I was diagnosed with coeliac disease about 7 years ago, at the age of 35. I'd been ill for a few years with gastro issues, but my GP refused to treat my problems seriously, did the blood tests at the wrong time, etc. Finally got there. I'm mostly used to it now, although my kids still laugh at how I smell the stuff I can't have, like a lovely fatty doughnut...mmm

I got CRPS 4 years ago after a minor knee operation. Since then the fun times have just been never ending. As you all know. Lol.

Good luck all.

Bram.
