Research into the causes and treatment of this painful, life destroying, condition is so much in need. More publicity to foster greater awareness, of this little known disorder is so essential.

I have had this disease for at least 7 years and was only diagnosed with it less than 2 years ago. The doctors and nurses need to be more aware of this disease and know the symptoms and treatments. It is too painful of a disease to go without diagnosis. They don't call it "Suicide Disease" for nothing.

"SUICIDE DISEASE" .... THAT'S AN UNDERSTATEMENT OF A MAGNITUDE THAT NO ONE COULD EVER COMPREHEND" !!!!!! I suffered for 17 years with the affliction and it was only after I found Dr. Adrian Upton and his team at McMaster University Hospital in Hamilton, Ontario Canada that I received any assistance. My wife, and my Mom and Dad stuck by me and finally we saw some light at the end of the tunnel. Dr. Upton knew "exactly" what I had been stricken with and helped me when no one else had a clue how to help me. After seeing him for 4 years and being heavily medicated at the end, the medication finally was at a level that was way too much for me to handle. The surgery was the last thing to try. My wife Caroline and I thought that it was for the best. I had nothing to lose since I was almost dead anyway. The pain was beyond what I could handle and my life was done. I lost my whole life and a great career as a "World Class Hammond Organ Player". Thank goodness for my wife Caroline and my Mom and Dad hanging in there with me. I would have been done and gone if they hadn't been around. You know .... "The suicide disease". I went through with the amazing complex brain surgery from the person who gave me my life back. Dr. Reddy in Hamilton, Ontario Canada helped me to live again. After suffering for so long I finally had the relief I desperately needed on May 9th, 2008. I'm happy to report I've been pain free ever since. Thank you, thank you, thank you Dr. Reddy. I know how it took my whole life and career away and how it's affecting millions of people. It's an affliction that very few doctors are aware of. It should be brought to the for front of the medical profession because it's rare, it's real and it's the MOST PAINFUL AFFLICTION KNOWN TO MANKIND! Nobody even has a clue what it's like. I'm talking ........ HELLO PEOPLE !!!!! .....THE MOST PAINFUL AFFLICTION KNOWN TO MANKIND THAT NO BODY KNOWS ABOUT!!!!! Here's my
