Hi Deb - I agree with you about not making it to old age! I thought the article was mostly excellent but the conclusion was terrible. CRPS doesn't go away. In fact, I wrote a Letter to the Editor about this, and my letter will be published in the February 2007 issue of Applied Neurology. Dr Oaklander's reply to me also will be published (she is the author of the article that started this string discussion) http://appneurology.com/showArticle....leId=196513289
