Erythromelalgia

Erythromelalgia is a rare neurovascular peripheral pain disorder in which blood vessels, usually in the lower extremities or hands, become swollen and inflamed. “It feels like there’s a gremlin in my bones that’s trying to break them with a jackhammer and a blow torch,” explained Angela Bodford, who has lived with Erythromelalgia for the past 20 years To help Bodford defray some of the costs of medical treatment, her friends and family are sponsoring the Fat, Happy, and Kinda Dancey Benefit Blowout at the Empourium in Kernersville on May 9.
