Hrm since before diagnosis to finding out I have done:
Rode a horse (was in a walking cast, at the time we suspected a hairline fracture, not CRPS).
Almost fell OFF that horse, because of stupid walking cast.
Swam in the family pool for hours and hours, even though the water was brutually cold and painful at times.
Reached out to the community for help, I've always thought that it would be shameful for me to do so. Turns out? Not so shameful! I have a wonderful community!
Walked all around Vancouver City, and did sight seeing, despite the evil walking cast.
Took a plane ride to family and back, despite the air cast and air pressure causing pain, it was great!
Pushed myself to walk through the pain, until finally it got me.
Got married to my soulmate, my beautiful wife!
Got a second cat.
Hrm..Was a great year =D

Fighting CRPS Type 1 (Cold sadly) Since June 2015.
Eight years after original diagnosis, cold CRPS 1 patients have poorer clinical pain outcomes and show persistent signs of central sensitisation correlating with disease progression. The latter is not the case for warm CRPS 1 patients. *
