Okay. After about two hours of research and looking for illustrations or photos (and finding none in articles I had acces to), I see the theory I tried to explain above is an older theory. Howard explained (or raised questions about) the new theory I found stated in about 30 newer articles. "Narcotics act by binding to one of the many sub-receptor types, all of which are either in the dorsal horn of the spinal column or in the brain - not along nerve cells. If RSD were somehow able to cause opioids not to work, then the endogenous endorphins would also be blocked, with pretty awful consequences." So we are still looking for illustrations or photos to this new theory. I can do links to papers explainin it but the language is more complicated than my attemp to explain the older theory so...I will keep looking. Rev. Rev.
RSD: THE GREAT DECIEVER. IT FOOLS US INTO SEEING OUR PAIN AS INJURY, BELIEVING OUR MOVEMENT WILL BREAK A BONE INSTEAD OF HELPING OUR OSTEOPOROSIS. THE DISEASE FEELS LIKE IT RESIDES IN OUR HANDS/ARMS, FEET/LEGS WHEN IT LIVES IN THE DORSAL HORN Of THE SPINAL CORD AND THE BRAIN PAIN RECEPTOR CELLS. MOVE, REST, MOVE, REST, MOVE. |
