IS this it possibly spreading?
With these issues, driving is so hard, and im scared something will happen.. but i am struggling to say "i cant drive anymore" because i am losing all the freedom i have...
So, at what point did you say, its not safe anymore, and let it go?


I probably sound whiney, and stupid, but this has been so hard, the reality of this disease is killing me.
Any advice would be appreciated.
I have never had a problem with blurred vision until CRPS. Opthamologist could find nothing macroscopically wrong and pain doc said blurred vision is related to CRPS. Dry eye (sclera) is part of this. I have gone thru all sorts of gyrations and stumbled across some worthwhile advice from my brother in law. I now use an OTC gel in my eyes at bedtime for dry eyes and it has made a very noticable difference. Feels good too. May not help you but can't hurt and I can now consistently see the computer screen.
