Prompt #3: "Health Disorder"

Skin Deep [Full]Skin Deep
Introducing Doctor Hugo Raines, Dermatologist

When I again encountered my former medical school colleague, Hugo Raines, he was very preoccupied in his small clinical laboratory. Throughout our acquaintance, Raines was a brilliant and determined dermatologist. Many of his discoveries had been quickly acknowledged and accepted by both his calling and by medicals in general. Then, he informed me that he desired to discover the secret to revitalize dead ad diseased skin. I was not taken aback by his words. He had a valid reason to investigate. Rather, I agreed readily that it was a brilliant and much needed skill.
"You see, Philip, the idea occurred to me only last year when my wife of three years, Sophie, suddenly contracted a strange skin disease that..that made her skin look..cadaverous."
That made me jump. I stared both in shock and in sympathy.
"Cadaverous?"
"Indeed. Sophie was quite sad at the effect. I vowed to find the method to revitalize her skin."

Viva la Vida
To the dear woman
who paints the pain
that tortures her limbs
-

You-not the painter of dreams
or the nightmares that haunt you
Rather, you paint your dream-like reality

Your legs have turned against you
But you have learned not to need them
For you have wings of gold to fly

The terrible accident,
the trolley that has left you paralyzed
Weak was it's intent; Strong you have become

With the stoke of your touch
You paint those tears that have never fallen
In your portraits they're free, carrying the message of pain

Even with your many sisters
You are still often alone
Your portraits, your only friends-you are the subject that you know best
by: ~SaphirePZ

Disorder"What do you do?
Can somebody tell me how to make this end?
What do you do when you mind is flooded with these cancerous thoughts,
Spreading through your brain, spawning more like them, crushing to death all sense of rational and coherent thought.
What have I become?
Where did my life go?
How do I get back all that I have lost?"

"NO!
I can't do it! If you entertain these thoughts you only fall faster.
Down into the void where all your dreams have fallen before.
Rise up!
Your desperate fight against madness is only driving you to madness!
Can't you see?
You have lost nothing.
You have only changed, you've grown.
Do not stagnate
