I know your mind is your strongest asset in this horrible situation! Last year after a operation to help my elbow to move more easily my crps was very bad! After 5 weeks my whole body was full of spasms, I couldn't touch my self and vibrations (walking, cars... Everything) caused severe pain. I went to a occupational therapist, who told me it was in my mind and I had to change my mind about the pain! It was a horrible 2 months of hurting myself (with a feather later a brush, rough ball and a vibrator!). I cried and cried! It was really bad, but I changed my mind about the pain. I not fussy about clothes anymore, but I prefere clothes that don't irritate as it makes the mind over matter easier. I use my arm and when the pain becomes intense I stop and lay down and read. 30 minutes later I'm almost spasm free again. I also found that when I get upset the crps is worse. My swelling and discolouring has turned less less over the years. I lost almost all my muscles but prayed hard and started using my arm again. I have to force myself to use my arm although it hurts! I am so blessed. My arm is almost normal after years. If only I can stop the pain! I can controle it some with my mind. I think hypnosis will help some (this is a physical problem, no matter how hard you try, you can't turn your arm black and swollen in under a minute with your mind!). I know laugter, love and friends help! I think for a parent this must be hard!!! I'm so glad my kids are healthy. I don't think hypnosis is a 100% cure but it a tool to help! Good luck to you, your daughter and family. I'm praying for you!
