I have CRPS-1/RSD/causalgia, and when your condition has more than one name, it's a bad sign. I was a nurse, I was a tech writer, and I remain fascinated by health and technology.
Some parts of my brain have blown gaskets, but examining the science relating to neurology/immunology/endocrinology -- and mulling how it could work in real life -- seems to go just fine. It's appropriate to both my professions that I want to track, document, and share what I learn.
You're invited to watch and engage in this interesting journey. It's taking place at an unimaginably rich, burgeoning age of technological development and biological understanding.
Bioscience is happening now that was science fiction 10 short years ago. Is it sensible? Is it cool? How does the weirdness of our systems change the game?
I don't care about what we believe, because that interferes with thinking. I care about what works.
