I thought maybe it is from a lack of circulation and an issue with lymph. Now that I have healed and do not have significant allodyna I can use a dry brush to stimulate circulation in my skin. I also soak in the tub with Epsom salts. Afterwards I use a wash cloth to stimulate circulation and remove dry skin.

I also found that if I use NoW MSM with arnica lotion I don't have the sores as often. This lotion is like Pretty Feet. I use it first to soak in, then to rub off dry skin and finally apply it as an emollient.

My skin was always on the oily side, now it is dry and paper like. Since this CRPS journey started I look like a parched thing hunting for an oasis in the desert. I am thinking about buying a sauna suit to wear around the house, so I can smear myself with oils and lotions.

Quick question. Does anyone have CRPS affecting their stomach?
I can hardly eat. Having horrible diarrah constantly and my abdomen is killing me

I'm also puking

Oh Jenna, That's definitely not helping you feel sexy.

CRPS can spread to internal organs but before you go down that road....
Any med changes? New meds or round of antibiotics that would mess with your gut? Any changes in diet? Exposure to GI bugs?

Immune function can get out of whack with this illness and you could be more sensitive than others to environmental factors. Run through any potential culprits and see what comes up. If symptoms keep up, definitely get checked by your GP before chocking it all up to CRPS.

I hope you feel better soon!

It is DEFINITLY not helping me feel sexy at all.


I had a small surgery a few years back due to GI
Problems before so that is probably what it is

But considering CRPS can spread internally from surgery about 2 months ago I had my appendix removed could that have caused problems?

Also no new meds in a while

Update:
Now having large amounts of blood in my diarrhea
