Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, in shorthand called CRPS, is officially recognized worldwide in November every year to raise awareness about this disorder. Every year for the past few years, I've contributed to this cause on my personal Facebook page to teach friends and family more about my life with CRPS, and on Robbie's Facebook page, I've shared facts about CRPS service dogs, and suggestions on gear a team might need. This year, I'm casting a wider net and taking a slightly different approach. On Robbie's Facebook page, every day this November, I'll be posting a legal fact card with a link to the resource to help educate CRPS service dog teams on important laws, protections, public access details, and more, that they need to know to be more aware as handlers. These facts will benefit any service dog team, but my main focus is on the CRPS teams who aren't necessarily getting these lessons from a program because they had to owner-train, or are working with a trainer who may not know the ins and outs of service dog training. On my graphic design Facebook page, Country Flame Designs, I'll be sharing a fact a day, as well as resources for people with CRPS, links to other artists who have CRPS, and videos that go more in-depth on my experience living with CRPS for the past 10 years. I hope you'll be following our page in November to learn as we go, but if you missed the posts, or want them all in one place, the slideshow below is for you.
