Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) and feeling blank
Chronic Pain | Last Active: Oct 30, 2022 | Replies (70)Comment receiving replies
Oh and as of now I have a few family and friends that have been pretty supportive yet we are so in the dark about crps so it's been a roller coaster I've tried finding online groups or chats but hit a dead end so far on that a chat room would be awesome still searching for one

Hi 2012 is how long I've been dealing with it you need help message me .
Google Medscape and CRPS, account sign-up is free. Search CRPS. Articles are high quality.
Copy and paste to Google: An-Update-on-the-Pathophysiology-of-Complex
Typically I search for things in the past five years for medical journals. Google peer-reviewed CRPS. Click scholarly articles peer-reviewed CRPS. You can search by years for how back you want your search to go. Using keyword searching with quotations, minus signs, or the word and, you can pinpoint what you really want to find and what you want to hide from your searches. Hopefully the articles above increase understanding and help anyone who would like to know more in-depth. I'm no expert, but I read a lot into this disorder because it drives me crazy, but I feel educating myself thoroughly, I can then communicate effectively with physicians.
Another good site search: Google (redundant, sorry) warm and cold crps
Hope everyone has a great weekend!

@paulieoneill4979 it is great to hear that you have support of some sort from some family and friends. I am glad you have joined Connect, an online community where you can lean on other members while learning from one another!
Your lack of sleep may be influencing your reduced interest in other things. Sleep really is such a fundamental aspect of overall health and mental health, especially when faced with chronic conditions such as what you are dealing with. That said, do you have a sleep routine that helps get you in the mood for sleep? What are your current sleeping struggles (i.e. falling asleep, staying asleep, both)?
