You're welcome!

You definitely need to read it! Definitely! Whether it will be good for others who don't have RSD, I don't know. If they don't understand it now while you are explaining it in simple terms, then I doubt you can shove a book in front of them and make them read 238 pages.

I have it with me now and it's full of sticky notes and pencil marks from where I have read important, to remember bits. I have to say, it is the most comprehensive work that I have read about RSD. There are a number of personal stories in it as well. Sometimes it can get a tad "medical" but I don't find that at all disturbing. Chapter 7 for instance deals with RSD and "changing family dynamics" and I have marked this paragraph because it appealed to me and stated what I felt perfectly, "There are many books and articles that claim severe illness is a journey that can lead us to the true meaning of life. They say that illness is a gift we should be grateful for because, if we follow the writer's advice, we will be magically transformed into a new and beautiful spiritual whole. Let me just say that I feel many things about having RSDS, and none of them contains the word "gift." I would gladly have foregone the whole experience and lived a healthy, normal life. However, I do not have that choice."

Definitely a recommendation from me!

It's written by Linda Lang & Peter Moskovitz, MD and the money that is made from it is going to the RSDSA.

It is from 2003, and I don't think it has been updated with new research, so you have to keep that in mind.

I have a number of other recommendations besides that book, books on pain, if you're interested. None of that new-age crap about dealing with and overcoming pain, though (sorry if others believe in that stuff).
