Very true....BUT if they cc (send a copy) to Iain Stewart as well, then it won't matter as much. Plus the more people who shout something, the harder it is to ignore - we could do with getting a newspaper onside, there are several out there who seem to like a nice health-scare/weird science/conspiracy of silence type of story?! Not to mention a few TV doctors who could be petitioned to take up the cause?

The sad thing is that it is very easy for anyone to ignore a single person, or a few, but if enough folk stand up together then sooner or later people do take notice. Unfortunately it requires a lot of coordinated effort, and that's not an easy thing for a community like CRPS/RSD sufferers, who are statistically few in number, and already using their energy to fight through constant pain.

I am thinking (on the hoof, so it might be rubbish!) of perhaps a blog or website with different standard letters, posters, info etc available to copy, and lists of addresses and people to send them to? The hardest thing sometimes I find is concentrating for long enough to actually write what I want and make it good enough - maybe if all people had to do was copy the text, add their name and address and send it, it would be easier for more folk to do? We could maybe have a monthly 'target' person or organisation to send stuff to, so that our efforts had more impact in one place at a time?

I don't know what the answer is, but I'm keen to fight while I'm able to
