Hi all,

My name's Tom and I'm 23 years old and from the UK. I got diagnosed with CRPS II in April 2012. Since April it's spread from my left toe, to left foot, right toe (strange right) right foot, up both my legs and into my right hand and arm. I can't come to terms with such a rapid debilitating turn, though I'm trying blocks and have been enrolled into Dr Andeas Goebel's immuglobilin treatment in February 2013. He's an expert in CRPS so let's just say I have high hopes!

To those of you fellow rsd'ers that have had a spread, how quickly did it take to get to where you are now? Do you still have hope for new or future treatment? I know cancer is a terrible disease, but I wish there was more funding for crps as it's not fatal but just as painful. We have no way out!
