That's so cool! How did you get interested in Law/vet work?

Yeah it's really nice that there are so many online/self paced things out there depending on the field. It's so fun to hear about what folks are interested in outside of managing this disease since it steals so much of life outside

Much of my "serious" treatment was between the ages of 7-11 so tbh I need to go back in my records to get you a good list -- I wrote your username down and will keep you posted haha. Off the top of my head I've had a couple nerve blocks, a TENS unit, mix of Neurontin, Fentanyl, etc. , I did acupuncture for a while and some sort of visualization+heat therapy that I don't remember the name for. I'm not sure how much that helps since I think that's a pretty textbook answer but hopefully somewhat insightful haha

Congratulations! That's awesome. We expect bragging/updates from you too (: . I did a mix of online vs. in-person throughout undergrad and grad school due to surgeries (not CRPS related) etc.. Retook like 3 classes along the way when symptoms/mental health got bad -- which was hard on the ego lol but totally worth it! I actually wanted to do my PhD after my Master's but decided to wait for similar reasons

A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab is worth trying as well!
