CRPS Can Really Suck

CRPS is relentless when it comes to hot temperatures. Summer is closing-in, and the heat is rising. When it’s hot outside my body knows it. I can be in the air conditioning, and it hardly matters. I thank God that I live in a moderately weathered area of Southern California. But when the temperature rises above 75°, I feel it intensely.

My friend took me to the pharmacy to pick-up medications yesterday and it was around 86°. I had symptoms of a heat stroke when I got home. I felt like I was being microwaved for about three hours. I had four icepacks on me in various places, had to take a cold shower, and vomited because of the nausea.

CRPS sucks. CRPS with Fibromyalgia really sucks.
