I just wanted to thank you all for the thoughts and prayers! It has been a while since I've been here, I'd forgotten the outpouring of support that can be such a comfort. I made it through the night, and by morning my flare lessened enough to where I can deal with it. I'm still in much greater pain than I have been lately. I swear sometimes you go long enough periods without a flare up and then it decides to remind you who's boss. I had almost forgotten exactly how intense the pain can get. Though this flare was not quite like any other I have had. This didn't just involve my arm, but my feet and left leg. Deep Aching starting in the right. Mild edema in both calfs and feet. A little bit discouraged, I actually thought for a while my crps was going into remission....
But I'm not giving up. I'll still do as much as I can to live my life to the fullest. Where there has been such struggle and pain, it makes the good things and days, just that much sweeter.
I'm sure lots of you have experienced spreads. Can you tell me what it was like for you? Like was there slight symptoms first? Some inkling (I know it's different for everyone) of what I might expect would be helpful.
