Guest guest Posted December 8, 2004 Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 Jai, I didn't exactly read clear thru that before I sent it, or else I probably wouldn't have sent that one. I agree with you......they are definately putting the cart before the donkey! Tonia -------Original Message------- Patients with several psychological syndromes (eg, major depression, somatization disorder, hypochondriasis, conversion disorder) are prone to developing CPS. Hi Tonia, I agree with this but for most of us the depression is secondary to the chronic pain. Had I never have had the injury I had I would not have suffered the RSD which caused the depression. My doc calls it " situational depression. " Had I not been in this situation I would not have the depression. I think that this is probably true for most of us. We had full productive lives and never would have suffered depression until the dx and trying to deal with living with chronic pain. I know a lot of us have suffered loss of many things like independence, jobs, relationships, etc., the above puts the apple before the cart. But I do appreciate the information because it is always good to get a different perspective. Thank you, Take care, Love Jai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 8, 2004 Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 Jai, Did it say somewhere to forward it to friends? I must of missed that part, because I would of deleted those words. I actually DID read thru this one before I sent it thru, because I really didn't want to start something by sending it. But, I thought that it really said alot about what happens here in this group among us, because It IS hard to determine whether someone is joking or serious, whether they are happy, depressed, angry or sad. I got everything I sent today from another group.....some I did read thru before sending, some I didn't because I got a headache. I'm hoping that I didn't send anything offensive.....or anything that bothers anyone because of it. Thats not why I sent the information thru......I just sent it because I was hoping that it would be informative for someone else. Tonia -------Original Message------- Tonia, about on-line relationships, I am not going to forward the e-mail but VERY WELL SAID!!! we should all adhere to these philosophies!!!

Tonia Hi Tonia, Didn't offend me because truthfully I didn't read through a lot of them, I had my hands full with my granddaughter today, some days she is so easy to have around, this was not one of them. So some of what I did read was interesting. Anyway thanks for taking the time to send those, take care have a good night Lin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 8, 2004 Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 Folks, before everyone gets their undies in a twist, Chronic Pain Syndrome is not the same diagnosis as Complex Regional Pain Syndrome.....totally separate and distinctly different entities. Chronic Pain Syndrome is a psychiatric diagnosis while RSD/CRPS is a medical diagnosis.
