 Publisher's Site  Author Elena Juris states in the introduction to her book, Positive Options for Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD), "I am writing as an RSD survivor rather than as a doctor." And that is what makes this book very helpful to individuals affected by RSD, for Juris can say to them, "I feel your pain," and really mean it. It is also obvious, when reading this book, that Juris has spent time researching RSD, so she writes from more than just her personal experiences.
