@Megs - I haven't really let myself grieve, as I was trying hard to 'not be that person' whatever that person is. But now I find going through the motions to be helpful. The only thing I do CRPS related is this forum now, and I try to look at the positive ones, or at least be able to help someone with a post. I've started to make a work out plan with my wife for some safe exercises to help me get back in shape, and just allowed myself to enjoy things without feeling guilty. I have found that explaining to my wife that I'm grieving has allowed her to understand my emotions and be there, being supportive is something that really has helped me! I don't look up cures, and I don't talk about my pain. One of the BIGGEST issues I've had is focusing and talking about my pain. So now I've vowed silence, as a couple of my friends pointed out that's all I talked about. Thank you =D
Lessa, I think it's healthy to talk about your pain, but with the appropriate audience and at the right time I know my husband can only handle so much as he absolutely hates that I'm in pain all the time, so sometimes when I discuss it with him, it just hurts him. I've tried to develop and figure out through the years whom I can talk to about this. Some friends I can tell about it sometimes. I've found though, the more you talk about the negative and the pain of CRPS, the worse it gets. You have to vent of course though!!! I find even just writing about my setbacks, etc. sometimes help. I literally will write a rant and just tear up the writings and throw them away. It is cathartic and really makes me feel better just getting the anger about the pain, etc. out of my system. I'm pretty weird though, so what works for me may not work for others
