Hello again,

The trouble with RSD/CRPS is there is no absoloute, we may well have been given the same name for our disease but that is where our similarity often ends.
It is the same with the advice given by our doctors and caregivers.
I am gobsmacked at times with what I read that people have been told by their "expert" as it is often opposite to what has been told to me by my 'expert'
The same applies to research. I spend hours online as I am sure most of you do and for one piece of advice there will be another that disagrees.
I would doubt that anyone here would have the same set of symptoms as me as I don't have yours therefore it stands to reason that what works for one may not work for another..
So where does that leave us? CONFUSED of course. I guess the very best thing to do is to be accepting and grateful for the advice people give to us based on their personal experiences but perhaps be willing to recognise our individualism by remembering that something so wrong for one may just be right for another.
I say nothing ventured nothing gained but I certainly do not expect everyone to work to that philosophy.

Take care
Tayla
