Its been quite some time since I have written anything, on any of my blogs but there is a great reason.  In October I went back to school to try to beat my CRPS into letting me become a human again.  The CRPS isn't amused and I have been in more pain than I could ever hope for.  I'm doing damn well for a 46 year old man in school but it bludgeons me, the CRPS does that is.  I hurt so bad during the days I have to prep for class and for a few days after the pain is still elevated.  I hate it.  Its been a long struggle, over seven years now but I simply won't lose to this stupid thing.

In any case my pain today is around a 9 1/2, with no relief in site.  I'll be walking tomorrow maybe that will help.

Despite the fact that the Bears won last night my day hasn't been very good.  My CRPS never plays nice as it is but its been exacerbated by a pinched nerve in my neck.  I feel even worse than ever and I have to start to worry / wonder whether or not this could be my CRPS expanding its territory.  That would be about as much fun as swimming in the ocean in the middle of a chum slick with great white sharks swimming at my feet.  In all honesty if this is expanding I won't have a freaking clue as to what to do.  Pain level is 9 1/2 at least.
