Ok ladies, we all know what this is...

It's particularly awful this time. I missed my last one, probably due to stress, and of course this one is worse. All the rest of the CRPS crap is ramped up (yeah, thanks for that) but on top of the usual cramps, I have nasty stabbing nerve-type pains through my belly and groin areas that make me brace in pain and hold my breath, and a constant burning pain in my lower belly (def not bladder stuff btw).

I'm completely miserable. My knee has been freezing cold through half the day, now of course it's burning up like crazy. My feet feel raw and I can't decide whether they are hot or cold - never a good sign. Everything has slowed to a crawl, and I'm moving like an old hag, half bent over. Attractive.

It's not usually like this. Is it this much worse because I've missed one? I'm sitting wondering how you gals constantly dealing with this type of pain manage to function at all

Sorry, just a pity party. Hopefully a few days will see me right. That seems like a long long time right now though....

Bram.
