(LifeSiteNews) — Veronica Fritsch looks like a normal 26-year-old woman, but she is living in exasperating pain. Veronica has been living with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), also known as the “suicide disease,” for nearly 2 years now. Before CRPS, Veronica was a healthy 24-year-old Carmelite novice preparing to make temporary vows, but this all changed with she sprained her right wrist in December of 2022. This sprain triggered her CRPS which has since spread to her whole body. She had to leave the monastery in July 2023 because of the debilitating effects of CRPS; she needed help with the simplest daily tasks.
CRPS is a complex condition associated with the imbalance and malfunction of the autonomic nervous system, particularly the vagus nerve, where half of the nervous system, which controls most of the systems of your body like the digestive and immune systems, shuts down. The other half of the nervous system is stuck in “fight or flight,” or survival, mode, which causes severe pain. This pain can feel like you are being burned alive, electrocuted, stabbed, pierced, that your bones being crushed within you, and many other types of pain depending on the case.
