Lack of control is a major problem and it is pain activated.

Hi there,
Just wondering if you are saying that your lack if control is to blame for your somatic problems?
If so, please do not be so hard on yourself as somatic problems are as an integral part of RSD/CRPS as the pain and other symptoms are.
I for one blame it all on RSD/CRPS.
After 45 years as a self controlled, independent, high functioning, active, non depressed person then I believe there is only one culprit for me now being the opposite, that of course is RSD/CRPS.
Take care
Love Tayla
