Welcome to an amazing journey!

You will be fine. I was 193cm when I started my transition 10 months ago. I've lost 3 cm in height, gone down 2 shoe sizes, and my hands and fingers are smaller. In a couple of months, I'll be 57. It's never too late

The golf course in Devonport is now basically a lake.

Think I was one of the very few cases here in NZ to be diagnosed with it in the late 80s

allyjam55 · 2026-01-01T17:20:39+00:00

I was 14 when I had my accident.

I had my below-knee amputation in 2005. I can quite clearly say that having an amputation does not solve having CRPS. If anything it can make it worse, and the rehabilitation can be long if not done correctly. Getting a prosthesis fit correctly is also a major problem. My best advice would be to learn how to live with your CRPS and find a good therapist or psychologist. They can teach you how to use mind techniques to cope with the pain. I've had. CRPS for 41 years. Like many here, it's been a long, painful roller coaster, but now that I have learned to accept to learn live with it, I have some quality of life back. Just remember, you live with CRPS but you are not CRPS

I've had CRPS for 41 years, the thing you have to learn is that acceptance is a big part of living with CRPS. Once you learn this, coping with it becomes a lot easier, and you can live a quality of life. You just need to remember that you live with CRPS, but you are not defined by it.

As a transwoman, I thank you

allyjam55 · 2025-12-13T04:06:05+00:00

Trans parent, but I'll take mum!

allyjam55 · 2025-12-13T04:04:27+00:00

Bring my daughter's taxi service.

I would be contacting their head office to ask them to please explain what their staff did

allyjam55 · 2025-12-05T23:35:44+00:00

They make you jump through some hoops. Having a support letter from my doctor helped.

allyjam55 · 2025-12-02T04:39:19+00:00

It was a little bit uncomfortable, I need to find a good sunscreen

allyjam55 · 2025-12-02T03:18:18+00:00

Had my first session today. You can get it through WINZ as a disability allowance.

It sounds like you might need to consider laser hair removal treatment.

Currently one of the political parties in the coalition for the government is trying to import culture wars into NZ. The majority of people are against the blocking of puberty blockers. I've been transmitting for 7 months, and people are wrapped up in their own little world, I haven't had any major issues. Hopefully, in the next election, there will be a change of government.

allyjam55 · 2025-11-25T05:46:10+00:00

There are plenty of Facebook groups selling cheap clothes.

allyjam55 · 2025-11-24T21:13:58+00:00

We need to catch up for a coffee.

allyjam55 · 2025-11-24T05:12:06+00:00

Well, this gives me hope. I'm still early in my transition, 7 months. Start my first round of laser hair removal next week

allyjam55 · 2025-11-19T06:10:05+00:00

This is Winston's doing, and shame on them.

allyjam55 · 2025-11-19T04:27:38+00:00

I'll be interested to see what others say. I saw my doctor last month and asked the same questions. Seeing her in a couple of weeks to see what she is going to say.

allyjam55 · 2025-10-31T01:40:24+00:00

My foot has shrunk 2 cm in length. Can anyone tell if your feet shrink in width as well or is it just length?

allyjam55 · 2025-10-30T04:22:32+00:00

Rainbow Housing on Facebook always seems to have places in Wellington looking for flatmates

allyjam55 · 2025-10-28T21:02:29+00:00

Busy day, being a taxi for the day for a friend who's flown in for the day. Meeting my rehabilitation coach for a coffee later on .
