Causalgia not covered under PMB

I am a member living with a disability called Causalgia or CRPS (Complex Regional Pain Syndrome). A life changing condition for which there is no known cure.

My neurologist wrote a motivational letter to the chronic department and within 24 hours I received a response saying unknown condition.

I have met medical staff time and again that don’t even know how to spell “Causalgia”.

Globally this condition is sadly known as the suicide disease, simply because patients suffering from this disease have to be put on antidepressants because of the intensity of the pain.
