Krank,

Good to hear back from you. Thank you so much for your service to our country. Can't stress that enough.

I used to be very active as well, now I'm happy if I can walk to my neighbors house without much pain! I used to be a competitive water skier, golfer, biker, hunter, walker, the list goes on. Can't do any of that any longer.

My days are spent working on keeping the CRPS contained and not angry/flared! It got out of control when I was diagnosed in late 2008, but with a combination of therapies, I've had some success 2.5 years out.

Hang in there. As mentioned, one day, one hour at a time. Find somebody to listen and find a way to laugh. Gotta have both with this monster in my humble opinion.
