Thanks. I hope that I am accepted into the ivig trial but I will just have to wait to see the doctor who is running it.

Working full time with CRPS is definitely challenging. I am trying to hang in there as long as I can. Twenty-five years is amazing, Burn! Absolutely amazing.

I'm not exactly in love with the idea of the SCS but I think I will need to consider it. I had a bad night last night. I had the kind of night that makes me realise I will try almost anything that might help reduce the pain.

But I know that others have been much harder hit by CRPS. I only have it in my right hand and arm. I would like to swap arms though since I'm right handed. :/

Usually, the pain has particular qualities to it. So, I will have burning pain (constant) and I have random stabbing pain, crushing pain, scraping pain, etc. Sometimes, though, the pain is so intense it doesn't seem to have a quality; it isn't burning or stabbing, it is just pure pain. Does that make sense to anyone?
