I had to cut myself short earlier...mom duties...but I also wanted to make a comment regarding the pain coming back "with a vengeance" comment. I don't know about you guys...but if I went back in time to before I got CRPS...and I felt this pain that I feel today...it would probably knock me out...unconscious. I actually feel blessed that I DIDN'T go into remission during pregnancy because I cannot imagine the pain going away for any length of time...and then coming back. It could ONLY be described as "with a vengeance" in my opinion because it IS so severe...it's just that it has become the "norm" for so many of us and we never get relief from it. But imagine you did...and then it came back? So, in my opinion, I wouldn't get too hung up on that particular description because if someone described this pain coming back after relief as anything less than that...I would be skeptical about how severe their pain really was.
