was diagnosed with #CRPS on the 15th of October and I just woke up with severe pain in my Right big toe. It was like I’d dislocated my toe or something in the middle of the night. I just had stabbing pains and a constant ache but it wasn’t until I had a very cold foot and severe pain whilst on the bus in the afternoon that I had to go the hospital and was told I had CRPS and prescribed pregabalin. I also suffer from #FND which means I get weakness or paralysis in my legs, usually my left one and my hip turns in. Which today has been crap because my left leg gave way from carrying my weight after being on my new pegleg / hands free crutch.
How does anyone manage everyday life with either of these disorders? And if you have toddlers or young children I’d love to know too. I’m really struggling with asking for help and being less productive.
