My heart goes out to everyone dealing with this, and since I personally do not have any friends with this (which is good) it leaves me feeling isolated as they can't quite understand the pain.
Thanks for reading and allowing me to rant.

You're welcome!
I live in Belgium, and we have excellent health care as well. For a while I had to pay full price for my Neurontin (I remember those days), at €40 a box (for 10 days' worth of medicine). Now I pay between €3-4 a box as it became insured (general governmental health care system). A lot of difference for me.
But I can't begin to imagine what it must be like in other countries.
Even though we still have CRPS, in a sense we are luckier than a lot of other people, at least where health care is concerned.
Hope you're doing well. Stay strong & hang in there!
