You can't always be happy living with CRPS. It is very hard to be happy when you can't walk and you have a tremendous amount of pain. However, there are people out there to help. I thought of ending my life on multiple occasions. When I was in the throws of the intense pain and I came to grips with the fact that that this disease is forever, I hit rock bottom. But you know what, suffering is otherworldly. You have such a unique perspective as a CRPS patient. You can now know what it's like to have extreme pain all the time. You can feel other peoples suffering. Normal human beings walk down the street to the store are just fine. So when you, you who can barely walk get to the store, you've accomplished something amazing! Everything you do is now amazing! Everybody else is just ordinary, but the things you do with what you're going through...is simply extraordinary. Wear that as a badge of honor.
