To quote from the back cover:
I hope they don't mind:
"Insights into Pian and Suffering is a much awaited book which explores the fascinating research in this bizarre and confusing condition.
This little book describes the most painful of all recognised chronic human pain conditions, CRPS/RSD. It has been compiled from patient dialogue, cutting edge research and medical perspectives. It is a book about pain, suffering, anger, rejection and fortitude of patients - it is about the dedication of the researchers involved in unravelling the mysteries surrounding this condition; it is about the journey towards understanding and treating Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, known as Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy.
"...when I actually saw the psychiatrist he asked what was wrong, I was still using the term Sudeck's Atrophy then...." "as soon as I saod 'Sudeck's Atrophy he asked me why I thought it was a psychological problem when it even sounded 'Pseudo'".
It goes a long way to explaing this & their website is well worth a look.
I have found them extremely good people & I don't live in England.
My impression:
It goes a long way to explaining heaps of the questions that come up on our website.
All the best Auberon
