Atypical Pain Disorders
Atypical pain disorders are among the most mis-managed complaints in the modern medical system. Chronic pain, fibromyalgia, Ehlers-Danlos, and other pain syndromes. Often these issues have effective treatments for all or part of the an individual's symptoms, but comprehensive, patient-friendly information can be difficult to come by. Our articles here offer this information, as well as resources you might pursue after developing a fuller understanding of these conditions and/or ways to advocate with your medical provider(s) about them.
