Hi Coconut nice to have you back!

Wow that's one tough road you've been on already with it. It always amazes me how much some folk here have had to deal with....CRPS is like the gift that keeps on giving I'm so glad you have your children to help you out with support both practical and emotional - sounds like you did a fantastic job as a single mum facing an almost impossible situation.

Good to have you here, even though the reason for it is never postive. We can always learn from folk like you who have coped with the worst things this disease can throw at us, and still don't give in. Good on you.

I too understand the reluctance to see people who have been diagnosed, and knowing what could be in store for them. I always feel a little sick in my stomach when I see that new post of someone just diagnosed... and I'm only into my third year. But this forum is amazing, with such positive and determined people, and such a lot of advice and support. It's helped me more than my docs!

Anyway, hope you are doing ok today, and keep posting now you're back!!!

Bram.
