Well, for me I'm not so facsinated or CSI episoded by it. For me, I know it's equally weird but I call it the the the voodoo people. I don't know if I even believe in voodoo literally (you'd think I'd look into it)
It just feels like at random tortourous things are done to my arm & hand most times taking me by surprise, except for the burning.

Man - yes RSD/CRPS is completely engrossingly fascinating. In an awful life-overriding type of way, but still fascinating nonetheless.

The stuff that happens makes doubters out of everyone - even family - and completely stumps the medical field.

The blessing and the curse is that we get to know our own bodies and our own minds excruciatingly better than most of the rest of the population. It is a forced window to the height and depth of soul. Who forced the window open? Is it us? Is it God? Is it random chance? Or has the window always been open and we just never noticed?
