Default More RSD/CRPS awareness from a MD news report...
Here are links to a news story from tonight and last night (two parts). Story was on WMDT 47 in MD. Great story for some much needed awareness.

Thanks so much Nanc

A great story, well written and documented. Nice and simple and clear for a change. Let's hope more news folk pick up on this 'bizarre' disease lol, and start talking about it, then maybe the good people with the research money will shunt a bit more our way and find out what on earth is making it so bizarre and untreatable!!

Bram.

Thanks for posting this. I think that should be mandatory reading for all of our doctors, and pt/ot.

At this point if they have never heard of RSD they need to go back to school.
