We had discussed this a month or so on my forum and I also found this topic to be very interesting. He self-medicated himself for years, and while it's true that he was never diagnosed with RSD/CRPS, all his symptoms point to it, as sadly, we know the symptoms all too well.

I think it's true that the media puts a bad spin on things like this and it looks as though it's been the same way for many years. It's sensationalism, plain and simple. If a person in the media had a family member living with what we do, they might begin to realize how much disservice they do to us, or what the consequences are to us (as chronic pain patients), then maybe things would change... although I don't foresee it happening any time soon.
