The most painful disease known to man. According to the McGill Pain Scale, RSD also known as CRPS, ranks higher than childbirth and cancer in pain. Nicknamed the "suicide disease", it is a progressive disorder that develops most often after surgery or a simple injury such as a broken bone. The sympathetic nervous system freaks out, and the limb does not heal correctly. The person is left with debilitating burning pain. The disease can spread to other limbs, and to the internal organs once central sensitization occurs. All body systems are affected including bones, skin, blood vessels, etc.
Little is being done in terms of finding a cure or better treatment. Current treatment options suck and include Stellate Ganglion Blocks, Lumbar Sympathetic Blocks, epidurals, Ketamine infusions, Neurostimulation, Intrathecal Pumps, Calmare Therapy, & Lots of Medication.
Most people describe this condition as 'Hell" as you slowly lose function, independence, and live in very severe pain 24/7.

Get the RSD (Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy) mug.Sympathy differs from empathy in the following ways:
With sympathy, the helper:
Helps within his/her comfort zone
Makes a cursory judgment of the person's needs
Often will get upset when it is explicitly revealed that their help is misguided or unwelcome (after a long buildup)
May feel as if he or she is the 'mentor', or the 'superior'
With empathy, the helper:
Relates to the person on a personal basis
Forms a deep emotional bond with the person on many levels
Learns to see the situation from the person's perspective
Sees the person more as an equal, and 'walks in their shoes'.
The two should not be confused. More often than not, sympathy is the form of 'caring' that is given to those in need, and can be quite misguided, especially in dire situations that most are not used to dealing with. Most therapists, teachers, and unfortunately parents will often give this kind of 'help' to a troubled or very upset person. However, if they were willing to step outside their comfort zones, they could learn how to relate effectively.
Despite these huge differences, many indeed DO confuse the two.

Get the sympathy mug.
Someone who insists on expounding every detail about every issue in their life every time they see you in hopes you'll feel bad for them. Somehow these people always have a lot of terrible things happen to them. Even though you do feel bad for them, you get tired of hearing about it.
Andrew cornered me in the hall and updated me on his sister's crippling car crash, his mother's botched dialysis, his divorce, and how his cat died last week, even though he just told me yesterday. He's such a sympathy whore.

Get the Sympathy whore mug.Like anglers hunting for fish, these sad sacks cast out their hooks -- baited with vague tales of woe -- in the hopes of landing concerned responses. Genuine bad news is one thing, but these manipulative posts are just pleas for attention.
The Sympathy Baiter. "Barbara is feeling sad today." "Man, am I glad that's over." "Jim could really use some good news about now."
