I LUCKED OUT.
Sound terrible but two women I know were talked into the simulator and both had it removed. CRPS ( I developed it in 1999) has made us hypersensitive to everything. I really want you to look back at your life since developing CRPS. You'll find its true. All doctors look at is the pain. Pain is an 1/8 of it. Our senses are overloaded, inflammation everywhere, What we eat and drink is a HUGE contributor to all the inflammation. I found Dr. Robert Getson on U Tube , RSDSA sight. He lectures are old but he literally is my HERO. I watched everyone of them and did what he said. I found functional medicine, eat as organic as I can, take Tumerac every day, unstressed my life. I'm 62 , a nurse, and work full time at a very relaxed home care. Cook from scratch, moved out of my ex husbands house(long over do) have my own apartment. But reality is that I might be able to support myself but on my days off I'm pretty much on the couch and not doing much. But considering what I was like before this is night and day. I'm still on Vicodin everyday. Good Luck

Yes, I believe that getting overloaded has a lot to do with flare ups. I tried Tumerac but could not tell a difference. How is the Vicodin? I was on Oxys and now have been on Hydrocodone. Super willing to try different things. If you dont mind me asking, how was your relationship with your Ex ( obviously he is your ex) but i had a narcissistic husband (17 years) just wondering if that fight or flight lifestyle has played a part of diagnosis of CRPS...
