thanks jo55, carose, and frogga for making me feel welcome. Carose thanks for sharing your history, sorry you are still suffering. Frogga, I read your story on the other tread, so sorry!

As welcome as you have made me feel, I prefer to be a supporter of you and not one of you. I am sorry if that sound horrible.

My doctor told me to not look this up on the intenet, that it would scare me to death...and it has. I am scared. I have a 3 year old daughter that I want to be able to keep up with. I am 42 y/o, so being a older mom is a challenge in itself.

Can you have crps and have mild symptoms? I have symptoms including sensitivity, burning, stiffness to joint and color changes...and now sleeplessness...however my pain level is not high. Is this right? Can you have a mild case?
