Central Pain Syndrome - Art

Central Pain Syndrome is a vicious lover at worst and a nightmare the sufferer never wakes up from at best. Days when we would give anything for just a moment without the burning as if we have been dipped in acid, something akin to when you eat a hot jalapeño pepper. It becomes a misfunction of the brain to make it worse. Central Pain is a poor name, because it is sooo much more than pain, it is a plethera of sensations that simply overwhelm the brain and the way it processes everything. Regular chronic pain is delt with in specific region of the brain, CP breaks out of this confinement and filters into the frontal lobe making everything form memory to emotional functioning a challenge. The reason I paint it, create pictures of it, and otherwise making art from it isn't to make my pain worse, isn't to gain sympathy or pity, but to educate the public about the need for research and education. The paintings help by distracting me from this hellish world. www.painonline.com www.painonline.org
