This one hits pretty close to home for me, because my dad had the "syndrome". He also got it as he was going through withdrawal from a cocaine addiction, so when the CDC report came out (it being a psychiatric condition) it made a lot of sense to me.

I don't really have anything interesting to add to the discussion, just that it's difficult to see a relative suffer like that.



I hope you're implying that he's cured.


He hasn't scratched his arms until they developed sores in several years, so cured enough to function I suppose. He's still damaged mentally, but it's taken a different form.
