The ex husband was the worst mistake I ever made. So much better with that narcissistic man out of mine too. I think living with an extreme amount of stress in your life is a big reason we have CRPS.
I have been on the hydrocodone on and off for the 23 years I've had this. I recently started up with cannabis. It really helps me sleep and takes that sting out of the pain. You know how you always feel wound up? The cannabis makes that go away. I bought some more expensive brand of turmeric and used it everyday for 2 weeks and the joint pain was so much better.
Actually being able to work at the job I love is the best medicine of all. Remember we can't get overloaded by happiness and laughter.
