“Remember RSD is not all in your head.” It is all over your body. It starts from one extremity or one part of the body and if not properly treated, it spreads to the other parts of the body. Don't let anybody convince you to be treated exclusively by a psychiatrist or to learn to live with your pain. Just remember you are not crazy. The pain of RSD is enough to drive anybody out of their mind, but what I admire is the fact that RSD patients still keep their sanity.

 Doctor Hooshang Hooshmand (1934-2019) 

With a heavy heart, I would like to inform everyone in the RSD-CRPS community that Doctor Hooshang Hooshmand passed away on August 9, 2019. Doctor Hooshmand, practiced Neurology for over 40 years with a special interest in the management of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). He helped thousands of RSD-CRPS patients from around the world. He also treated other neurological conditions such as Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Epilepsy, and Electrical Injuries. Doctor Hooshmand leaves his wife, Clara, three daughters, and five grandchildren. He will be truly missed by his family, friends, and patients. I will personally miss my mentor and best friend.  Thank you, Doctor Hooshmand for your inspiration!  Sincerely your friend, Eric M. Phillips
