Hi, Karebear! It's really nice to meet you! Wow, it sounds like you've had a book-full of experiences. I'm sorry things have been so complicated for you. I'm going to post a link to our RSD/CRPS forum. The people there will probably be able to understand your post better. Unfortunately, I'm not all that familiar with these conditions. But I feel for you. Good luck and best wishes, Karebear!
