By the way, welcome Island-girl.
My CRPS started in my forearm more than my hand but traveled there and I developed a very bad claw so in order to look more normal and help with circulation I had my wrist fused (it was useless anyway). That was one a few surgeries I've had. Now my CRPS has spread slowly into full body but that's not to say it will happen to you. My prayers are that it doesn't.
Be well...

Russ, thanks for the welcome! I am sorry to hear that your CRPS has spread so much. I think of you and all of those with severe cases of this crazy disease often. I pray for new treatments.
Today my pain doc rx'd a compounded cream with ketamine and several other actives. I hope it takes more of the edge off. Lyrica is helping but I still have pain at level 5-6 for hours at a time. I suppose that's better than the level 8 pain I had before the Lyrica.
I don't know how I could quit coffee. I love it. I look forward to it every morning. It's a ritual. i will have to give it some consideration....
Today I purchased some of the antioxidants mentioned in the video of Dr. chopra's presentation. Maybe they will help a bit. Only time will tell.
