Hey all
As most of you probably know, I have complex regional pain syndrome, which I've had since April 2006. I have been under incredible stress of late brought on by the fact that a medical assessment deemed me fit enough to return to part-time work, despite my concerns. The pressure to find a job has taken it's toll on me and over the weekend I hit rock bottom. The last time I felt this low was October 2006. Yesterday I just cried all day and felt so miserable. I contacted my case manager who was very supportive and has put the job-hunting requirement on hold. I've asked for help and he's sending me to a psychologist and also to a pain management clinic. I feel sooooooooo much better but I have a way to go before I feel better (complex regional pain syndrome is a disorder of the nervous system). Please keep me in your thoughts and/or prayers - it's incredibly difficult for my children too to see their Mum so tearful and down. But I won't be like this for long ... I'll rise above it, with the professional help that for the past 2 years has not been forthcoming. Take care, love Ali

Hello Ali, I am having a rough time with my complex regional pain syndrome too. Since we moved just a few days ago, I have been unable to move or walk. I am in such excruciating pain. I too hae cried for the last 2 days and can't even carry my baby around and she doesn't understand. Being only 4 months old she wants her mommy andI feel so bad. You are in my thoughts and prayers everyday . I understand everything you are going through and I am here if you need anything. take care and gentle hugs
