Hey Peeps,

Again, thanks in advance for your responses. This place is invaluable in dealing with this disease.

Being young and single (and very lonely) but living with this is taking it's toll -- and I've decided I need to try to date. I'm contemplating the online route, as I really don't go out anymore (due to the pain).

My question for all of you is this: should I include an explanation of CRPS and the fact that I have it? Personally, it really takes a toll from my confidence as there's nights where I just don't want to do anything but soak my feet in hot water and relax...and I feel like it's going to interrupt my ability to be a good partner to someone. On the flip side, I worry that putting "up front and center" might scare someone away.
