Hi Darryl @drg24242, I just wanted to catch up and say hello while you wait for members to chime in. It's been a while since we chatted.

As long as there are no underlying serious health issues to be concerned with, weight loss can be a common symptom of chronic pain. As can loneliness and depression resulting in a lack of desire to prepare food or eat.

Dropping all that weight is not good. If I recall you live alone, correct? Does anyone check on you or help with food shopping or preparation? How about socialization? Do you feel you need more?

Hi Rachel. It's good to here back from you. Right now I'm still trying to handle shopping on my own but with the crps now having moved to the other side of face and finger tip's I don't know how much longer I'll be able to drive. Yes, I have my sister, who I'm very close to, that would help me with anything but I don't want to be a burden to anyone. I've been hospitalized twice in the last 30 days for abdonimal blockages. I'm also so weak that I can't even walk my dog any more. My phychyocrist keep's trying to adjust med's for anxiety and depression.
I had hoped that the crps had stopped progressing and just stayed with my upper left side, but knew the progression to upper right side now was a possibility.
I recieved a newsletter from that from the rsda site I belong to, stating that the Cleveland Cinic has been making great strides with stem cell research for crps. I assume Mayo is doing the same but would like to know more about this. Please advise. Thank's Darryl
