Power Through Pain: Living with Reflex Neurovascular Dystrophy Elizabeth Elster

In the back of the book is an order form for motivational "Power Through Pain" wristbands.  Unfortunately, we have no more wristbands and do not currently anticipate getting more.  Please do not send your checks; we will have to return them to you.Power Through Pain is a moving, inspiring memoir of Elizabeth Elster and her family's three and a half year struggle to find a solution to Elizabeth's intense daily pain. Eventually, after seeing twenty physicians, ingesting countless medications, and enduring many invasive medical procedures, the Elster family's search ends in success. Too often, individuals in chronic pain become isolated and embittered. This is a wonderful account of an individual's courage, determination and hope that will help other families struggling with rare chronic illnesses weave a path through a fragmented medical system that treats symptoms yet rarely heals.  James W.
