More on disease

There has been a theme that pops up every once in a while and it is back on my radar screen again for some reason. If the topic bothers you then my apologies to bringing it to your radar also.

I'll start with some catch up reading for those interested. FYI, the links are to the Sounds of Silence area (so you'll need to be logged in to get there).

Persistent pain as a disease entity (post 1)

See post 8 for the paper of interest in this thread

And this is the essay (not in the SoS area) which returned the issue to the front burner for the time being
