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

Hi, sorry it's taken me a couple days to get back to you. I'm not sure about advancements Mayo Clinic has made on stem cell research for CRPS but I will do a little research and see if I can find you information. I'm sorry to hear the CRPS is advancing but I'm super glad that you are working with a psychologist. Have you ever considered a spinal cord stimulator which is implanted for chronic pain?
