CRPS is a stand-alone illness.

I developed Menière in later years, and I am thankful that every doctor I went to examined me from scratch; or else it might have been all chalked up to CRPS.

There is a danger in that!

I also have been having migraines since puberty (age 14) and I got CRPS age 23; so I know those aren't related.

It is more of a puzzle when you develop that after the fact.

But don't let doctors make it easy on themselves and chalk it all up to what you already have.

CRPS has its own symptoms, and headaches, I don't think are part of it. But don't quote me on that, I am no doctor. Just a patient with almost 23 years worth of experience and her own medical history.
