@faithwalker007 Renee, I too, feel like Covid could not make me feel worse than I already feel, but I do know that Covid could kill me. Don't know if that would be a blessing or a curse, actually. A life of suffering is not a life. I try to keep occupied as best I can, because distraction can help. I try, I try, I try, and get exhausted trying. You know exactly what I am talking about. And yes, your fabulous doctor got it, because he was in that accident. Unfortunately, that's what it takes to fully get it. So when people in my life forget to ask me how I am, respond inappropriately, etc., I feel kind of blessed knowing that they are well, and can't fully get it. Especially if I really care for them.

@lorirenee1 had to chime in. I get orthotics to lessen the pain of walking. The first time I saw the podiatrist he was rude when I mentioned my sciatica and told me orthotics wouldn’t help and that it definitely wasn’t plantar fasciitis. A year later I went back for orthotics and he said even cushioning might help the pain. You see, he had a brief bout of sciatica recently and he said the pain was unbearable

That is the mixed blessing of having something as torturous as CRPS, nobody can comprehend what we experience unless they go through it or a piece of it.
I gave up feeling sorry for myself a long time ago. It has no purpose... no end game. It simply breeds destruction and I have enough of that to live with. I may even be able to practice as a pharmacist if it wasn’t for my brain shorting out with no warning lol! Another friendly symptom of CRPS.
I love helping others. So far CRPS has robbed me of that in many ways.
