Also, Prayers for anyone else with CRPS ❤️

[@TiaSnoozy805]

I love your page- I have had a tuff time, sometimes I don't want to wake up, the pain is horrid- I'm tired 😓 I try therapy but I feel like it's no use- I just want to eat and walk. I want to laugh out loud and maybe even fall in love, But who wants me like this? Thank you for listening.

[@TheCRPSNetwork]

Tia, awee.....don't give up! I know exactly how you feel about who would want us like this, but there are some great people out there, don't lose faith!

[@Dan_Alien]

So weird you brought this up its exactly what I'm going through lack of appetite, nausea, etc. I said to my other half since the CRPS on my right side in my leg and arm I was thinking could if be in my gut. Obviously I should change my diet but the meds make me crave unhealthy things. So not good lol. But thank you its nice to see issues covered that I normally don't talk to my doc about.

[@TheCRPSNetwork]

Yes, look into Gastroparesis, it is extremely common with CRPS.

[@Jay_bee.23]

Yes I've had ALL of those issues during the past 16yrs with CRPS. My main problem now is diarrhea, nausea & food accidentally entering my trachea instead of the esophagus. I'm finally off all opiates & just treating with different mmj products, muscle relaxants & gabapentin... and I'm currently waiting for my infusions to get scheduled. God bless all the CRPS Warriors! 💕🙏🏼💪🏼💕

[@TheCRPSNetwork]

Oh wow, the food enters your trachea instead of your esophagus? That is terrible. I am glad to hear your switched from opiates to mmj and gabapentin. Are you planning to get ketamine infusions? God bless you too ;-)

[@Jay_bee.23]

@@TheCRPSNetwork yes I start ketamine, finally, on July 8th😁👏🏼👍🏼

[@crystalboyles-mcgowen5174]

I have had CRPS for about 4 year now. I have lost a lot of weight with it. I love your videos please keep making them. They have helped me so much.

[@TheCRPSNetwork]

Aweee. thank you so much for the kind words. I have been on a bit of a break but am back will have a new video this upcoming week ;-).

[@connerallen642]

Medical marijuana helps with stomach pains alot. Especially edibles and oils. Awesome video by the way. Your an inspiration to many :).

[@TheCRPSNetwork]

Awee...you are too sweet Conner! Thank you for sharing, and I couldn't agree with you more about the mmj ;-)

[@officialmamatoolive]

Again sweetheart I am grateful for your video's, truly you are a blessing. I have dealt with RSD/CRPS for over 25 years. I've had 2 obstructions, one leading to emergency surgery. I feel we need a place to chat about new treatments. I want to know more about some of your remedies. Many doctors don't know how to treat CRPS patients except shoving medications at you which cause a plethora of other problems. 🌻

[@TheCRPSNetwork]

Awee...thank you for your kind words. You are so sweet! I agree, I am always looking for natural remedies and ways to get reduce the amount of pills I have to take. So far, one of the best treatments I have had luck with is called Bemer therapy (Bio-electric magnetic energy). Look up BEMER pro. It helps my pain better than any medicine and better than my ketamine infusions. I will be doing a video on it soon.

[@Chzcke38]

I have found that rubbing a small amount of peppermint oil on my stomach really helps when I can’t get anything down. Praying for pain free days 🧡#CRPS #fellowspoonies

[@TheCRPSNetwork]

Sarah, thanks for the tip! That's interesting...I for sure have to try that now. I have some Doterra essential oil, peppermint. I'm not big on peppermint flavor but I like that you can put it on topically.

[@apples.oranges]

Oh Lord she is talking about me!!!!! Thank you kindly for information.

[@lisagreig2003]

My stomach had been so terrible .I couldn't eat .I lost so much weight..My intestines were messed up also...I took turmeric this helped for awhile..But then my GI track was hurting so much..I ate every three days but it was terrible...I took BLACK SEED OIL it saved me..My GI track is better now..I hope this helps others.Its also called ( Hands of God)

[@TheCRPSNetwork]

Wow, Lisa...that is great! Thank you for sharing!!! ;-) I will have to check it out.

[@rontegtmeyer8293]

CRPS going on 22 years been dealing with all that's happen only you know your body take it slow. You will help yourself as time goes on. Believe this Hope and Wish and Pray helps a little you must believe in yourself🍷😎

[@TheCRPSNetwork]

Awee...this is excellent advice! I love it!

[@Catlover-jr4mj]

CRPS and nausea Never get better is my experience and I have it since 17 Years! You just have to accept that you can‘t eat so much food and try not to overaeat is the best thing I can do!

[@faithbradley4224]

GOD Bless! Thank you so much for these videos, they make me feel less lonely. ❤️

[@TheCRPSNetwork]

Awee...Faith, thank you! And you are definitely not alone ;-)

[@Catlover-jr4mj]

I found your channel today and it is so good, much information that I needed, I have a CRPS since 17 Years in my right foot and some other body parts, I am 32 and from Germany! 🇩🇪 I would love to see more videos from you! 🌸❤️

[@TheCRPSNetwork]

Awesome! So glad you discovered my channel ;-) Welcome!

[@staceyshaffer180]

Thank you! Always appreciate your videos.

[@Catlover-jr4mj]

I have CRPS since 17 Years in my Right foot and some other Parts of the Body and I can only eat very small meals or I get sick. I can never eat a plate if we go to a chinese restaurant, Even If i really wanted to eat it all! For me it really helped so eat some Sugar After a meal, that helps a lot, a Bonbon with dextrose or a Lollie with dextrose that Works even better that taking haldol against nausea! I can Never Plan how much I can eat in a meal, because I don‘t know when I geht nausea and because of that my parents are allways angry with me because I don‘t eat my plate. I usually had a lot of stomach pain and my doctor discovered that I have fructose intolerance, that was helpful too, I would recommend to get testet against intolerances with food, if you have often stomach pain! 🌸🌸

[@TheCRPSNetwork]

That's a great idea about getting checked for food intolerance! And I completely agree, I don't ever go by finishing my plate....your body knows when it's had enough.

[@maryCCFarm]

ty for sharing.. I have to take meds .for this daily ..but I still get sick if my pain level gets high.

[@TheCRPSNetwork]

Mary, that's a good point. If pain levels get high, that can really cause your stomach to get upset!

[@HonJennCoffey]

Staying well hydrated with water for me helps, as well as using a seaband for nausea.

[@lindalopez4181]

Thank you so much for this video. My doctor said my nausea has nothing to do with my CRPS. I have bouts of vomiting , unable to keep my meds down, followed by pain flares. I also have huge anxiety attacks because sometimes I can't swallow and it feels like I can't breathe like i'm going to suffocate.Again I was told it was not CRPS related. I was also told you can't have CRPS in your face.That my neck,head and facial pain can't be CRPS. it's so frustrating.

[@donna1390]

I have crps it's been a nightmare following right and left shoulder surgery and have had gut issues since. Magnesium internally and magnesium cream externally are of great benefit. Digestive enzymes, probiotics slippery elm tablets and ginger.

[@sonyaj.6736]

Thank You for this video!

[@TheCRPSNetwork]

My pleasure!

[@tonyaballinger1655]

I’ve had tremendous nausea and awful pain. It’s gotten to the point that I can only eat grapes and nondairy, vegan, nonGMO, no preservatives, no sugar or additives, no fat high protein yogurt. Sometimes all organic completely natural smoothie with water or coconut milk or oat milk. I leak yellow bile ever since an EGD 2 years ago to check my stomach. The GI did biopsies and my stomach was a bloody mess and immediately after I have been so sick I can’t function. I immediately couldn’t urinate for 2 days and on med for that now and usually have severe IBS and it’s always mush but if any fat at all like piece of cheese then my body can’t process and I have horrible pain for weeks and weird stools all same size like discs. I eat no fat. I was told by Mayo Pain Clinic as I was scheduled to go that an EGD is not allowed in CRPS patients. It’s like surgery. She told me everything that’s been happening was coming. She said the CRPS is now inside me now and will attack my internal organs. My GI doctor wants to do another scope which I’m not allowed which he says is crazy talk. He mentioned taking out gallbladder but we aren’t allowed surgeries. I don’t have evidence there’s problem with gallbladder either. I am so sick everyday and it’s getting worse. I started out with both legs after a failed lumbar fusion with cage going in from my stomach which they removed out of way with no pain meds as I can’t handle narcotics without severe vomiting uncontrollable for hours after surgery. We used Tylenol and I was ok for a week and then CRPS hit and I wanted both legs amputated to my hips. That was 10 years ago. I can’t sit at all. I can’t walk but a few minutes. Laying flat was best but back has gotten very bad and I have it spread now all over even in face, teeth, eyes, and inside too. I don’t have a doctor here in Knoxville and my primary tries to treat me but no one even understands this disease here. I have no idea what to do about my stomach. I do watch every bite and barely eating. Water hurts as soon as it hits my stomach. The nausea never leaves. Any suggestions of anyone that might could help me? I would travel laying down of course.

[@emmawyatt3799]

Heya. I know you made your comment 2yrs ago, so I don't know if you'll receive this reply, or how you're doing with your CRPS now. I've had CRPS for 31yrs in thd whole of my lower body below my waist and also in my chest. In 2022, I had severe acute pancreatitis. This caused me to be an Insulin dependent Diabetic and to have a pancreas that works insufficiently and as a result is unable to process fat. I was put on a digestive enzyme called Creon that I have to take 6 with everything I eat in order to try and digest my food and process any fat content. If you ask for a prescription for Creon, it might help you.

[@Me_chelle93]

I don't take any medications as of right now for my CRPS and i literally go from not having a bowel movement for days and needing to take stool softeners to the next week having such bad diarrhea that my body isn't storing fat. I also stay sick at my stomach and can not each much. This all started after my CRPS started, the worst thing is that most of the time I don't have control over my bladder or bowels. I usually have trouble urinating (burning, the feeling of not emptying my bladder, or urine pouring out of me without trying). My bowels are just a mess honestly. My whole body has been a mess since CRPS.

[@oliviaortiz5157]

WHAOOO I feel and noticed the same I've had it only 15 months and have stomach issues all the time!!! When all my 56 years of live never had any of them!! I could eat a cow by myself nothing ever happened now ANYTHING UPSETS me, even have trouble swallowing ☹️😢 I am just learning about all that this horrible condition has brought to my life😭😢☹️

[@jsk9756]

My hubby get bouts of diarrhoea he has crps in both hands and hip and foot , he wears compression gloves to help him get through the day if he didn’t wear them he said he couldn’t cope as it helps to contain the pain

[@rachels1616]

I use Valerian root for stomach spasms

[@priscillaoren1534]

I have recently been diagnosed with CRPS following a toenail removal in October that has progressed to this condition. I also am afflicted with a rare bleeding disorder Hemophilia. I have listened to various KZbin videos and am trying to learn as much as I can about this. At present I have no Pain Management physicians but have been diagnosed now by 3 podiatrists, a neurologist and PCP. I am presently getting PT but my provider has limited knowledge of this disorder and we are using Graded Motor Imagery. I live in Bethlehem, Pa.and don’t know anyone else with this condition and I am feeling very frightened by what I am reading and experiencing. I need all the help and support I can get. I am in the FB site for RSD. Thanks

[@mp21546]

Red raspberry juice powder can counteract nausea.

[@danabazer7900]

Can you have symptoms of CRPS before you are diagnosed? For example I have to get my throat stretched every few years for swallowing issues and I’ve been dealing with that for probably 6-7 years but was diagnosed with CRPS 3 years ago after a bunion surgery, I also have stomach issues like being full all day long after eating a small meal in the morning.

[@TheCRPSNetwork]

Absolutely. Sometimes people have CRPS much sooner than they realize. Some people can go into remission early on. So you may have an injury, go into remission and never realize you have CRPS lurking in the background. Then a future injury can bring it out in a much more severe way. So you may experience systemic symptoms for years before realizing the pain that is so prominent with it.

[@beckyjamison1668]

Zofran helps some

[@lorenasalazar6929]

I'm still searching for natural alternatives so I may take my medication & natural foods that can HELP through this syndrome illness that can drive you crazy at times dealing with "TOO MUCH PAIN".😣😔😖😞😟😢😩😭

[@emmawyatt3799]

Heya. I hate to tell you this, but you can get CRPS anywhere in the body, including the internal organs.
