Nov 2013

and disabled.

For most of my working life, I was in social services.

I have a condition called CRPS as a result of a bad accident two years ago.

Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), formerly reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) or "causalgia", reflex neurovascular dystrophy (RND), or amplified musculoskeletal pain syndrome (AMPS), is a chronic systemic disease characterized by severe pain, swelling, and changes in the skin. CRPS is expected to worsen over time.[1] It often initially affects an arm or a leg and often spreads throughout the body; 92% of patients state that they have experienced a spread, and 35% of patients report symptoms in their whole body.

Happy now?
