"Being an 'modern day leper' shunned by main stream society is difficult enough, but due to the medical professions denial of a true entity of such a disease (Chemical Induced Adhesive Arachnoiditis) sufferers are also finally shunned by partners family and friends making their lives seem worthless. Such feelings of not being believed comes 'hand in hand' with a developing related sense of hopelessness and helplessness, this feeling is also 'age related' as one ages, one also starts to 'feel' as one is a burden of those still around them. Such a feeling of being a burden suffering from a condition denied as even existing 'its all in their head' lead for many to consider suicide or retire gracefully into a nursing home 'out of the way' of those that have believed the "Professional" rather than their own love-ones, the same love-one that 'once cared for them'! Where has 'unconditional' love gone Doctor Burton?" Derek Morrison, Australia |
