I prefer the term RSD because I feel that CRPS belittles what I live with. I have before told people I have Complex Regional Pain Syndrome and they then turn round and go "ok. So why can't you move? - it's only pain".

That's pretty much what I was trying to say above. Although I've never had it nearly as bad as Froggsy, I've had a lot of problems with dystonia and movement disorder, skin problems and recurrent infections from poor circulation and stuff like that. Those are often part of the package deal that is RSD, and they don't come with something that is "just really painful" as the term CRPS implies.
