Sure has been a long time, this year has been just one long migraine….up until about 2 weeks ago!
I am slowly getting back into the swing of life, and mostly just enjoying the freedom of being able to leave the house. I have been able to do things like walk the dog, or go to the grocery store, it has been a long time since I was able to do that! I am thankful I found a new procedure that is working (which will be featured in an upcoming post!) and happy I am actually able to do more than simply exist in a fog of pain.
I also passed the 2 year mark in July! Huzzah! Still very glad I started this adventure, and hope to keep posting (especially now that I can think enough to write!).
I am feeling as happy about having my life back as my dog looks here:
Ruth the Helper Dog
Yup. That happy.

Have you found any essential oils to help with your CRPS? I have allodynia on both legs. I would love some suggestions. I have fabric sensitivy, it’s really a challenge. You have been through a lot.

I do have sensitivity sometimes, and I find that the oils that help to numb things help most with tolerating that sort of sensitivity. Tarragon, anise, clove, and many others can be great topical numbing agents – and you can make a handy spray with just some witch hazel (or rubbing alcohol) and a spray bottle from the travel section in a store. You may also want to look into St John’s Wort and Arnica as well. ^_^ Stay positive, and try a few different ones since your body may react to one better than another.
