Several things struck me.
67% of us consider suicide.
Avoid Nerve Blocks! They can cause even more damage! Wow!

A copy of this should be kept with you, and might become your "pal".
Especially when visiting a doctor who isn't familiar enough with RSD.

There is also a "black box" mention (not the negative kind) of "At least 20 clinical trials" including Dr. Schwartzman's in Philly. He is the gentleman who diagnosed me after 7 years of agonizing, frustrating pain and emotions. Which, of course, continue.

Only thing I found about the story somewhat annoying was the "necessary happy ending". It just doesn't end that way often enough.

I'm going to make a copy of it, scan it into my computer.
