Info I saw on Mystery Diagnosis (pain, sweating, hair & nail growth)

[Guest guest]

Hi, yesterday I had recorded a Mystery Diagnosis show and was sitting down to

watch it well to make a long story short it talked about this lady that had

developed chronic pain that had become debilitating for no reason seemingly and

sweating profusely out of the blue is one of symptoms. Another thing is that my

hair everywhere on my body and nails are growing rapidly and more off it within

the past several months. Without typing the whole story the main finding was

that people that are injured and the injury heals or people in chronic pain and

the pain seems to continue for unfounded reason are thought to have RSD

{Reflexive Sympathetic Dystrophy}. Which means that once that pain is sent up

the spinal cord to the brain and it fires of the neurons transmitting to the

brain you are in pain the for some reason after you are even not hurt it

continues. They have found that it literally continues in a loop and the brain

actually thinks you are in pain in turn making you believe you are in pain even

though you aren't.

They thing that I thought interesting about this is that they have found that

giving the person seizure medication usually stops this loop.

Here is a website about it.
