I just posted two new pages on PainOnline:
Who Gets Central Pain?
http://www.painonline.org/WhoGets.htm
and
S. Weir Mitchell: Nerve Pain Pioneer
http://www.painonline.org/mitchell.htm
I hope that someone finds these of interest. The first article, Who Gets Central Pain, helps to show just how many different conditions can cause central pain. I'd love to see people who are suffering from pain with all these conditions bring their voices together to call for a cure to end this suffering.
The second article pays homage to a great pioneer of nerve pain, Dr. S. Weir Mitchell. A brilliant surgeon during the American Civil War, he also gained fame as a novelist. In fact one of his short stories, The Case of George Dedlow, was the first to introduce phantom limb pain to the reading public.
