I'm thinking she is doing most of these interviews to keep her name in the spotlight - any press is good press they say...

she's branching out on her own and all the talk will get her press , good or bad.
But you can't make someone want to be a spokesperson, plus she had all those other injuries to complicate things.
I wonder if there was a typo about the "15th surgery curing her RSD" - when I search that it comes up with "caused her RSD..."
But the good thing is people can write to those mags & papers to tell what RSD really is.
many of the comments on the sites have rsd patients telling their story too.
