I'm reading a book right now and just read a paragraph that I find profound. I wanted to share it with you.
The book is called "Understanding Chronic Pain, A Doctor Talks To His Patients" by Robert T. Cochran, Jr., M. D.
"I suggest that chronic pain may be the most profound experience that a human being can endure. No other disease is as destructive to the entirety of being -- to both the mind and the body -- as is chronic pain. No other is as pervasive in the variety of its effects on the way the human organism works. Sleep, appetite, energy, mood, thought, memory, blood flow, and the fundamental perception of sensation are all disordered. Stated simply, there are more neural systems in disarray in chronic pain than any other illness."
