Reading CRPS Awareness by Sunny Boshoff has been an eye and heart opener.

I strongly recommend this book.  You really don’t need to have CRPS to read it. I found this book which is written like a diary with beautiful personal illustrations, captivating and touching the intimate cord which is in all of us. Pain, humour, courage and love all play together here. I would recommend this book as a present to friends or family who are suffering from difficult health issues, just to introduce to them the strength and creativity in which Sunny faced her condition after her accident. There is a lot of spirit and inspiration to be drawn from this book. As clients of any health system in the west, most times we don’t question medical procedures.

Here is a case of a person who took responsibility for her health and came through. By reading how Sunny collected her medical records is enough to make you want to be more in charge of your own journey. It encourages people to question what is being put towards them and listen to their body and intuition. Acting on that is vital.
The knowledge of the therapies which are offered here are also enlightening.
As a therapist (Chinese Medicine, Graduated from ICOM , East Grinstead in 1986 ) I recommend this book to anyone who works with people just to be reminded that no matter what field you are in, it is important to meet the heart of the person who comes through the door.  It is part of the healing process.

The vast amount of information about different therapies, anatomy, physiology and pathology which appears in this book in a beautifully aesthetic manner is also very important. No one should feel intimidated by medical terms.
Learn to just look things up.
Sunny does that in a brilliant way.
