CRPS Songbird, hang in there honey. I'm so sorry you are having to deal with so much emotional grief along with the terrible pain too... It really is massively unfair that nobody seems to understand this thing... Hopefully this flare will subside and you will be able to enjoy life again. Until then just know that we do understand and if we could we would help in more than just words

You are so lucky to have your daughter who loves and needs you, even a wounded bird as you are at the moment, you are still her world
Kevscar, I watched that video and it frightened the pants off me!! I know the people who made it had the best intentions, but parts of it were horrific. I ended up putting my hands over the screen and just listening. They made some really good points, but I worry that people just won't get to the end... I try not to look at the really bad photos and things on CRPS - I know some poor souls have to deal with those kinds of terrible wounds, but a lot of us will not. I have to believe that I won't end up like that or I would go mad... I went from there to the link with the petition though and signed that, so thank you!
Bram.
