Paula Abdul has an unusual subtype of this unusual disease, and in her case, ice is excellent instead of deadly. Having labeled that huge caveat, here is some excellent, informative, very useful stuff to take away:
She and Dr. Oz do a very good job of simply, honestly and clearly conveying the basic physical reality of RSD/CRPS-1. I found her presentation refreshingly honest, very sweet, and completely good.
Note her discussing how food and nutrition (especially drastic amounts of produce) is responsible for a "360-degree change" in her condition. She has found doctors that helped her figure that out; what I want is for those doctors to train all their cohorts!
The (usually passive; occasionally active) resistance of the mass of doctors to nutrition is appalling, but at this point it is the most valuable single strategy that's available to the most people. The fact that it isn't available to everyone is a horror which I look forward to seeing the end of: poverty and food insecurity are not good for anyone, and being disabled puts most of us into poverty... so we can't get the kind of food we really need to manage this disabling condition!
My old commercial-grade blender took a dive off the boat. It's probably making sushi in the middle of the Pacific Ocean by now. I can't wait to get another one and get back to making green shakes. The healthy oils and tons of produce are the best "brain-food" I've ever found. They keep the pain down to a manageable level and help me continue to be able to do things like, oh I don't know, write more blog posts.
