Im really unsure, but it does make nights unberable and sleeping a full 6 hours is something I would give almost anything for! I've read that insomnia is common in CRPS - but most of the time Im unsure if its the pain that is keeping me awake or actual insomnia?! I usually fall asleep somewhere around 3am when total exhaustion takes over - Im thinkin of asking the Dr for something to help me sleep - but I HATE being on too many meds, so Im not sure what I'll do!

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! While it is a bit comforting that you can relate to what I am going through, I'm truly sorry that you can. I totally understand the crawling feelings and the lightning strikes you spoke of. You mentioned you have had a nerve block. If you don't mind sharing, what exactly was it and when did you receive it? At what stage? How soon after diagnosis? Feel free to message me privately if you feel more comfortable. I am just so new to this. I think my doctor is good but wonder if more can be done or should be done. After the past few nights of pain, I just find it hard to believe that people should suffer this way.
