Thank the DEA for the Opioid fiasco. As for a drug? They have some good ones but I can’t take them because I have grand mal seizures. I can’t take Ketamine either. CRPS is a rare disease and incurable. Type 2 or Causalgia has been around since the Civil War but because not many people have it, the medical community doesn’t make a lot of money treating us—therefore no cure? Probably.

I don't know if that is it. CRPS is still a nerve related disease. As is neuropathy. There are a lot of different avenues of research ongoing trying to find something that will totally or partially cure neuropathy. They just are having a hard time cracking it. The nervous system is, along with the endocrine system, probably the most cryptic system in the body. As much as they have studied it, the science of the brain is still in its infancy, and nerves are just brain matter scattered throughout the body. They might stumble onto something however, and that is my hope, such as all of this talk lately about pirenzepine and how it "might" be able to reverse or at least prevent neuropathy. I feel that something will come along in the remainder of my lifetime. There is A LOT of money at stake if they find something good. Believe it, they want to. But in the meantime there is just the same mediocre treatments they've been pushing for years unfortunately. Best, Hank
