My EM of the hands and feet appeared after a failed knee surgery. I was diagnosed with CRPS in my knee and I also developed EM in my hands and feet shortly after the surgery. Throughout the years I have noticed that enough people to catch my attention in EM groups said they had CRPS and also EM in a different area of the body other than the limb they had CRPS ( I made this distinction because CRPS can have similar features to EM) or developed EM around the same time as the CRPS.

I tried asking AI some questions about it and the only answer it had was that there is a similar small nerve dysfunction in both disorders. However, I believe there is an autoimmune inflammatory and/or neuroinflammatory cause/connection.

Thoughts? Experiences?

I posted a few months ago regarding my student loan vs. SEP IRA contribution conundrum and wanted to update everyone.

I ended up taking on another contracting side gig and paid off my student loans today! This means I am now debt free, which I am still processing. Ha.

I am now going to reach both of my financial goals this year (paying off my last debt and maxing out my SEP to catch up on retirement)!

A big thank you to the MG’s and my fellow mutants for the motivation and for helping me change my mindset about money management. It has changed my life. 🙌

Take care, everyone 😊
