Sorry - I'm not IHH. But funnily enough I did reply to that thread. Page 4 - Ness. Actually, I reread it and I feel a bit ashamed because I sound quite arrogant and maybe a bit rude - so apologies.

When I was diagnosed I remember looking for stories on the internet of people who had fully recovered and I never found any. It really scared me, so for all those looking now - here it is - I HAVE FULLY RECOVERED FROM RSD / CRPS. I have no pain. As I said in that thread, there was a point where I told my boyfriend I wanted to die - I couldn't cope with a life filled with so much pain and with not being able to walk. The journey to full recovery was long and slow. I realised I had to look inward for healing, not outward to doctors and specialists. The fear was the hardest hurdle to overcome, but eventually I got to a point where I would laugh at the pain - the opposite of what you would normally do. I think this sends a powerful message to the brain that it does not need to continue sending pain signals. I really think I need to write the whole of my recovery story for this to make sense - probably sounds a bit odd on its own!
