I've been coping with Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD), a chronically painful disorder of my sympathetic nervous system, 24/7 since 2002.
On the McGill Pain Scale, RSD (also called Complex Regional Pain Syndrome) sets the bar. Worse than cancer pain.
No cure. No treatment.
The Thorn In My Flesh
It may not be able to cure what ails me, but it's a pretty great salve for the soul.
