There is a great seminal book out there titled "future of the body" which in parts explains these phenomena. It's a good read. That's for the article.

This is my great aunt's book, and I was wondering how I could get a copy? I'm just finding out about all this today. please contact me with how you came about getting the book.

The nurse's experiences also seem to chime with those of the lawyer Daniel Schreber (although Schreber's are perhaps slightly more 'epic').

Nurse Leach may not be directly related to James Tilly Matthews, but does she ever suggest that Dr. Lamprey got hold of an Air Loom? It would go a long way towards explaining his other-worldly abilities.

It is horrifying that a woman so afflicted was caring for helpless patients!

I love the names; nurse leach and dr. lamprey. And I never underestimate the prevalance of drugs in human society.

You are right, Mr. Armstrong. This sounds like the story of one woman's painful disintegration. I hope she got the help she needed.
