16. That would be great if I could
Sat Feb 6, 2016, 01:18 PM
Feb 2016

Used to be an avid skier, both downhill and x-country. Now I'm disabled due in to an accident 4 years ago. I use a cane. I'm in pain all day and most of the night. And it ain't minor discomfort. Not only do I have post-traumatic arthritis, I have CRPS type II. And yes, it makes me crabby, particularly after my doctor's appt. last Monday.

Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) formerly reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD), "causalgia", or reflex neurovascular dystrophy (RND) is an amplified musculoskeletal pain syndrome (AMPS). It is a chronic systemic disease characterized by severe pain, swelling, and changes in the skin. CRPS often worsens over time


<snip>

Type II, formerly known as causalgia, has evidence of obvious nerve damage. Type II CRPS tends to feature the more painful and difficult-to-control symptomes of CRPS; The Type II disease scores 47 out of 50 on the McGill pain scale[6] (however there are seemingly little or no data pertaining to Type I specifically here). In Type II the "cause" of the syndrome is a known or obvious nerve injury, although the cause of the mechanisms of CRPS Type II are as unknown as the mechanisms of Type I.

Well, then let's hear Bernie say that. Have him argue that SuperPAC support isn't necessarily DanTex Feb 2016 #21
Common sense is common sense, it need not be argued and is usually axiomatic Dragonfli Feb 2016 #24
A little odd, then, that Bernie wouldn't just come out and say what he believes. If it's so obvious. DanTex Feb 2016 #25
