CRPS (Complex regional pain syndrome) is a persistent pain condition most habitually distressing one of the limbs (feet, arms, hands or leg) due to any kind of injury or trauma. It is usually caused by breaks down of the central nervous systems. It shows swelling in the affected part and changes in skin color. As such there are no single diagnostic tests to confirm the disease. For its treatment, rehabilitation therapy, psychotherapy and medications are prescribed by the doctors.
I have CRPS and am raising 3 wonderful children who all have their own special needs. We adopted them and have raised them and the oldest is now 17, the middle one is 15 and the youngest is 12. The oldest is autistic, sees the world through a narcissistic viewpoint. The middle of has fetal alcohol syndrome and is very eager to please, so much so that we have to watch her close now that she is a young woman, to make sure she is not taken advantage of. My little one is on the Autism spectrum, but you might never know it except for his energy. He talks to everyone and wants to know everyone's name and invite them to our house to play. Really, at the heart of it i think he is lonely. I know how he feels... So, anyway, I am 36, I got this pardon my french, but DAMN condition when I was 19, so I never got to grow up have a real adult life. Not to mention, the medicine has made me gain tons of weight. So, my newest venture is I am going for a spinal cord stimulator. I have heard really good things about them making the pain to away eithervcompletely or enough that you can get off most of your meds. Anyways, I am here any time you want to talk. Just send me a friend request on Facebook.
