The Woman Who Is Burning From The Inside Out

SUBSCRIBE to Barcroft TV:
A WOMAN suffering with a rare condition which makes her body burn from the inside out is raising awareness of the ‘suicide disease.' After crushing her hand in a car door, Kayla Hansen from Arizona, was worried she might have to take some days off from her job as a restaurant manager - but it changed her life forever. The seemingly small accident triggered chronic regional pain syndrome, or CRPS, a condition described as more painful than childbirth and limb amputation - and with no known cure. There are four stages of the syndrome and Kayla has stage four, “the absolute worse your CRPS can get”. In just two years, Kayla went from having CRPS in her right arm and hand to her entire body – even her scalp. It’s rare for sufferers of CRPS to display outward physical signs but in Kayla’s case, she doesn’t just feel the sensation of burning, her skin blisters and burns. Her symptoms are so severe that many doctors have said Kayla’s is the worst case of CRPS they have ever seen.
