Just yesterday I learned that two people with RSD/CRPS decided to end their own life. This illness is something that is very hard to handle and often leaves its victims feeling very, very alone and desperate. Please learn all you can about this illness and please share and make others aware to help people get the understanding and support needed.
I myself am sitting in the waiting room of my Pain Management Centre waiting my turn to get my lidocaine infusion. I got absolutely no sleep at all:((

I have CRPS too, and it gets me low and depressed when pain is bad. RSD/CRPS is often known as the suicide disease according to Google and Wikipedia - sad reflection on how bad things are and the difficulty getting the pain under control. I work with an organisation which offers support to those who feel suicidal, distressed or in despair. It is free to contact them by email from anywhere in the world - everything which is discussed is kept 100% confidential. The email address is jo@samaritans.org If you are in the UK you can use the freecall number 116123 to speak to Samaritans. (This freecall number can be used anywhere in European Union, but you will be connected to another organisation similar to Samaritans).
