Intro to Me

This is my first ever blog, so bear with me. It might take a while to get used to this whole thing, and I can't promise I'll be very regular with my postings.

So why did I start a blog? I was diagnosed with a chronic pain condition known as Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), or Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (Syndrome) (RSD(S)), in 2002. By the time I was diagnosed I was already in the final stages. I have been pretty bad about tracking my treatments (I used to have a notebook filled with pain levels, treatments, and just the entire saga in general, but it's MIA), and I figure this might help me do that. I would also like to help other people who may have the condition (and may or may not know they have it).
