I have been dealing with CPRS since January 2012 and it has changed my life.

Welcome to the forum, sorry you have to be here because of this rotten monster of a disease. Don't stress, stress will make you flare more. Try an Epsom salt soak. I did it the other day and it helped a lot with my inflammation. I wish I could help more. This is a very helpful forum. The people on here understand exactly what you're going through. I have learned so much on here that has helped me. I hope you do too. We don't judge. If you need to rant, we will listen and try to help as much as we can. Are you going to a PM?

Hi, welcome to the forum

That foot looks painful, I hope today things aren't too bad for you. I've had CRPS for just over two years and I know how it changes absolutely everything. My first year was horrendous, but things have gradually improved a bit, even though it's spread to my left side. Partly I think some of it is me getting used to dealing with the day-to-day pain, and the rest is because the actual symptoms have changed. The terrible initial pain has subsided a bit and although I still get some dark days, most of the time I am more mobile than I was....(crossed fingers lol)

This site is great for support and a few laughs, and we all know what CRPS does to each and every one of us, so you can vent here safely.

Take care and I hope you can sleep well tonight. Have a look through some of the threads here as there are some great tips and advice!

Bram.
