Tell him an "inactive" attorney from LA in your CRPS Neurotalk forum suggested that you contact him. I'm not sure what he would suggest, but my first thoughts - besides doing everything possible to preserve your legal rights, such as they are, are along the lines of a PR initiative, with lots of outreach to media. As in, what issues could be more pertinent to the spirit of the moment? What you really need is to be connected to an interest group that's already in the thick of the fight, and viola, you're the new poster person!
