| Introduction | I was diagnosed with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) 19 months ago. It has been an eventful journey to say the least! But I won't bore you with that now. You may have stumbled across my blog while searching for information about CRPS, in which case welcome. I'm guessing you or someone you know has been recently diagnosed with CRPS and are looking for clues! I know when CRPS was first mentioned to me I was searching like mad. I followed so many links to see what on earth this thing called Complex Regional Pain Syndrome was all about. Some of it was useful, some of it was horrific! That's the internet for you; it's like a huge cauldron of words and pictures for you to delve into but you've got to make sure you've got your "what do I need to know right now" glasses on. So, you've been diagnosed with CRPS? Be positive, be realistic, try not to judge yourself, it's not your fault, it's nothing you did, it's not all in your head but you will have to explain CRPS a hundred million times! There's new research being published all the time so keep searching, be proactive and keep spreading the word - awareness is key. |
