CRPS: Memoirs of an ordinary man living with a not so ordinary disease
"Never underestimate the pain of a person, because in all honesty, everyone is struggling. Some people are just better at hiding it than others." (Will Smith) Living with an incurable disease is never an easy feat, yet it is not impossible. When you embark on life's journey, you do so with certain goals. When you are side-lined by something like CRPS, your foundation becomes shaken, and your goals becomes blurry. You start to give up on your passions and dreams, and you lose all hope. You start asking "Who am I?", "What is my purpose", "Where am I going?" "How will I get there?" Being diagnosed with CRPS or Suicide Disease can be a death sentence, but it does not have to be. You can allow yourself to see CRPS as a death sentence, or you can allow yourself to see it as a new lease on life, a new outlook, despite the horrible effects of the disease. It is a disease that has been around for 160 years, but very little is still known about it, even in the medical field, and for those that suffer from it the prognosis is not always good. I had to learn to realign my focus and to get new perspective on life. I had a choice, I could just drop my goal, or I could reset my coordinates, even if it was only to give hope to others. Never give up! Do not let your focus on your limitations be so strong, that you lose sight of your goal. Find your purpose in life. Even in the darkest of times, there is always hope. "Truth does not mind being questioned. A lie does not like being challenged"
