When I read these posts from you kids that are suffering so with this disease I can't stop the tears. My daughter has had CRPS for going on 3 years now and is struggling so with the pain (spreading throughout her body), the drugs, their side effects, trying to keep her job, on and on. I feel so helpless and wish I could just take her pain so that she could have her life back ~ I've lived my life and it's just unfair that I should be so healthy while she is suffering so! For all you folks that are trying to cope and getting so discouraged, I urge you to just try not to give up!! I still believe that, eventually, medical research will find a cure for this horrible progressive disease. My writing "campaign" to all areas of the medical field re CRPS and RSD is ongoing and I believe that if all of us keep "bugging" the medical profession, they will come up with a cure!! Bless you ~ try to stay strong ~ all my best!
