What do they use to test the temperature of the skin?
Is it something that I could do myself so that I know that I am not just crazy?
This is a very interesting thread.

There is a test that doctors can do called thermography testing. Here is a link that will give you information about the test and why people with CRPS have variations in skin temperature. I am not aware of any "at home" tests, unless you're just sticking an adhesive thermometer to your skin...no clue. I hope this helps with your question.
