Nerve Burns -- (RSD/CRPS awareness)

Medium - Acrylic and wooden matches: Thankfully, awareness of the pain condition RSD/CRPS (officially Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, types I & II) has been rising lately. Anyone who has this disease can testify that nothing can burn like a nerve pissed off. One moment,, random parts of your body can feel like lava just became your lap blanket ; shortly after, those same nerves turn into a fire extinguisher blowing cryogenic Co2 on your parts giving them instant frostbite. It is NOT a fun disease BUT the more people who can understand its symptoms can give compassion and love to it's sufferers. Now isn't that part of what awareness is about?
