I was a Firefighter and Paramedic for 30 year. I'm disabled now from a back injury in 2009 with permanent nerve damage and chronic pain. Lots of surgeries later I'm able to walk and do thing again. The pain is 24/7 & come in many forms. I didn't know that a service dog could help someone like me. I don't know how much it would cost, but it would be great to have a companion to help. Maybe there is some hope for me. Thank for sharing.
My service dog Molly I purchased as a 3 month old puppy for $300. I did a lot of her training myself and then paid about $500 to a trainer who helped be with some things I needed help with her on. So it doesn't have to cost much. Also, the organization CCI provides FREE serviced dogs that are already trained ;-)
A for a disability trained dog costs in Germany between 15.000-20.000 Euro, but many people with CRPS don‘t have so much money. There are some organizations where you can get a fully trained service dog for free, but before you have to put your name on a waiting list und you habe so wait some years for a service dog. But a dog need to go potty und go for a walk 2 to 3 times a day and you have to be able to do that or you have to pay someone how does it for you, or you have some friends or family who would do it for free. You can search on the internet if there are organizations where you live who give trainers service dogs to people with disabilities. Do you know Molly Burke’s channel on TH-cam she tells a lot about, how she got a Service dog and what is does for her and from what organizations she get her dog from, Molly is Blind but she has lot information about service dogs on her channel! But of course you can get a dog for other disabilities too like CRPS. Or you can train a dog by your self, but that’s not so easy I think and not every dog wants to be a service dog and I think you have to pay a trainer if you want to do that, who helps you with the training! 🌸🐶
I have trained my dog to be my service dog. I trained her to alert to anxiety behaviors such as wringing my hands. I also trained her to do pressure point therapy. This helps me when getting to sleep.
Also cats. One tiny kitten was left under my fence as her mother was moving the litter. I saved her life and she in return saved mine as I had fulfilled my familial obligations, had become an empty nester, lived in isolation by choice, and my life was to end that week. Three other kittens were brought to me by an older tom cat. One lay on my stomach all the time until I was found dying from blood loss from torn stomach due to severe vomiting caused by pain and meds. All non allergenic part Turkish Van barn cats. They give me a reason to get up, to live every day. A dog's needs eg walking training etc. is too difficult whereas cat care is manageable. Each cat gives back in individual ways. Without them I would be gone.
I have CRPS & EDS and when my CRPS came on with it my eyes started shaking. At first I thought it was an earthquake but it was only me shaking. After 2 years I was diagnosed when it spread from my hand to my foot. Now the eye shaking has developed into an allergy or allodynia of sorts to noise. Vibration (certain noise like a motorcycle, lawnmower, loud bass, beeping like a cash register and so much more) or stress can make my eyes and brain shake. I can’t prove my brain is actually shaking but that’s what it feels like and my eyes actually do shake. My command for my service dog BLAZE is YIKES- that’s what I say when my eyes and brain shake. He comes and stands in front of me from left to right and leans on me and I lean on him. He also walks by my side so I can bounce off of him. He can let himself in the screen door, the regular door and close it behind him. He is learning to fetch things but he’s only 10 months old so we have plenty of time. He will help me up when I fall when he’s full grown, as well as let me lean on him when needed. I love him SO MUCH! Like you said, just having to care for him keeps me so busy I am a lot more calm which helps my CRPS greatly. He is a mutt. Great Dane/Mastiff mix. At 6 months of age he could even go into restaurants he’s so good. Never had a table scrap. Doesn’t even know it’s possible. I’m so blessed to have him.
I LOVE this!!! Amazing! And Blaze is so young! He is going to be a huge help to you in the years to come!!! Service dogs can do so much for us! Those are great ideas ;-)
I want to train my dog Ollie to become a service dog he’s a golden retriever and he’s three, I think he’ll still be able to be trained he has his basic training skills but I need him as a guard so I won’t get ran into, I’ll be hospitalized if I get ran into like that, I’ve been wearing my sling but I don’t want to always have to wear it.
Good to know. I live where emotional support animals are not allowed (yeah, esa animals cannot be discriminated against) service dogs are allowed here. Doesn’t the service dog have to be tested?
Also, i recently hear dogs barkjng incessantly in a store but they are not questioned. Service dogs don't bark in pubkic buildings, in fact, pretty much never. Just adding
The CRPS Network That’s the point if you read my comment correctly. By showing people your dogs fake ID/registration you make other handlers who don’t have those items have to explain why you have them and another handler doesn’t.
@@danielleg.1084i agree ive had to call the police or have them called on me multiple times bc businesses think i have to show paperwork or tell them my diagnoses in order to come inside

Leslie, that is so awesome. It's really incredible how much our furry friends can help us out!

i like your videos but the music in the back ground i find hard to pay attention to you..
Thank you Mary. Most of my newer videos have no music in the background ;-_
Thank you for eliminating music. Does anyone else have increased sensitivity to loud sounds or noises
Yes I definitely have a sensitivity to loud noises and sounds!! It is awful!!!
MaryCarol Canary likewise music means I cannot concentrate a pity as really valuable info I’m sure? X

Thank you for fixing the audio issue :)
No problem, thank you so much for letting me know :-)
Excellent video!
I have CRPS that’s in remission. I’m still not sure how a service dog could help with CRPS.
Luv your site/
My rottie helps me lower my stress levels
mine brings me my stuff in a fanny pack. goes with me to the Hospital, and just everywhere she can pick up most everything. Pixie is her name. Thanks
Aweee....thank goodness for our helpers....that's great Pixie can bring you your stuff in a fanny pack! I love the name Pixie!!
I have rsd.I have been trying to get my dog to retrieve with no luck.Got any ideas?I want him to pickup stuff for me

My coco girl 🐶💜
Please don’t register your service dog! You have a service dog registry patch on their vest.
Service dogs are actually allowed in zoos. But there will be certain areas of the zoo they aren't permitted in.
Does this girl have CRPS?
By using your ID for your service dog you are creating tons of problems for the service dog handlers that come in after you. Shameful!
Sorry you feel this way. It is actually not required by law to register a service dog, nor is it required to have an ID.
