Pain Science Education Episode 53 | Cynthia Toussaint: Remember Self-Care; The Most Important Part of Chronic Pain Treatment and Relief
My next guest is the author of Battle for Grace: A Memoir of Pain, Redemption and Impossible Love. Cynthia Toussaint serves as a spokesperson at For Grace and has had complex regional pain syndrome or CRPS for the past 35 years which later developed into fibromyalgia and overlapping autoimmune disease. Cynthia founded For Grace in 2002 to raise awareness about CRPS and later expanded the organization's mission to include all women in pain. Before becoming ill, she was an accomplished ballerina and worked professionally as a dancer, actor, and singer. Today, she's a leading advocate for women in pain, raising awareness through local, national and worldwide media as well as public speaking. Her work has personified what it's like to be a woman who lives with pain, beyond this treatment of pain, and the gender bias toward women who suffer with chronic pain type syndromes.
