Background
Thousands suffer from TSW misdiagnosis, experiencing severe withdrawal, pain, and disability. Patients are not warned about the risks, and doctors lack training to recognize TSW. Without recognition, sufferers are dismissed. Official recognition would lead to better treatment, research, and patient support.
