Hey, I just found this site. I've had CRPS for the past 5 years and it has been hell. (I'm not one to pretend I feel ok) I'm a former airline pilot and have not flown since my diagnosis in 2002. The feds yanked my medical which effectively grounds me and have been on disability since 2005. My CRPS started after I took a real bad fall while mountain biking in Moab, UT. (After getting laid off from the 9-11 attacks, I had a lot of time on my hands while waiting to get re-called.) They almost amputated my arm, but after much pleading on my part they decided to try and save it. They did, but at a hefty price. So here I am just wondering what other people with this terrible disease are doing with thier lifes. I have jumped back into school to try and retrain myself in something other than aviation.

I hope to hear from others. It's great to find a web site like this!!
