The PaillSpectrum Syndrome
Dr Xxxxx: Paill Spectrum affects anybody at any stage of life.
The symptoms and signs have different clinical "presentations" at different ages.
Mood & Behaviour Issues are common
Any child over about five years old can display the full syndrome, including the painful areas.
The pain symptoms become more common with advancing age. Pain symptoms are very common in middle-aged adults.
The challenge is to diagnose the symptom cluster early and to prevent progressive worsening of the symptoms.
Failure to identify affected children results in a very poor outlook for the affected children.
Learning disabilities, school failure, and social complications are common long-term difficulties experienced by these adolescents.

Erasmus 
: Our fighter for truth and team leader.
Goo : Goo the Numbat is a simple soul, almost the last of his species. He shares his perspective on life with us humans.
Commandant : In Charge of our Security. Strict and unyielding.
Beethoven and Frobisher: Our security bully wots.
Dr AXxxxx : He joins us, a refugee from the justice of his own kind, bringing the alternate perspective from another place, not at all sympathetic to the vermin infesting his new abode.
Kinkajou 
: Our warrior and foot soldier, exploring the world to bring us truth and knowledge.
Dr Xxxxx: Representative of our medical staff.
Erasmus met Dr Xxxxx and over a number of years grew to develop a belief in the problems of our world.
Erasmus is an old dog, but he reckons he still can do new tricks. He’s been around, and up and down a few dry creek beds in his lifetime .Born into servitude at the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm, Erasmus quickly realised the world could be a hostile and dangerous place. Puppies disappeared daily, never to be seen again.
Kinkajou: Features in our web sites as an adventurer but he is equally accomplished in the art of reasoning and has often followed the comments of Erasmus to their logical conclusion. His belief in the truth leads him to always "tell it true". This is the world as it can be seen and this is the real world.
Dr Xxxxx. This good doctor actually represents a diversity of opinions held by a small cabal of medically aware people.
Dr AXxxxx. Simply best described as a cold inhuman bastard, Erasmus says we are indeed lucky to have this paranoid psychopath on our side. In spite of his antecedents, his perspective is valuable for us to use to understand our world. Dr AXxxxx’s past background is in taking charge and being master at the helm of the ship of destiny. Control is the ultimate goal. Nothing must stand in the way of control. Domination not cooperation. Suspect your enemies and kill them first, preferably after extracting all useful information. Your destiny is yours to make and to take. Vengeance is a heady mix to this paranoic murderer.
The Commandant: Head of our security detail, the Commandant believes in doing the right thing and always considering safe options. However, his view of what is right is coloured by association with Erasmus, Kinkajou and the doctors Xxxxx.
Frobisher & Beethoven: These guys are our bullywot "security mooks", Frobisher is the literate one while Beethoven provides just more raw muscle power. While Officious and Intolerant of transgressions, they none the less have a sensitive and fragile side to their natures, an aspect their personality totally at odds with their aggressive and fierce appearance.
Goo is a simple and humble mammal.(Actually a marsupial numbat really). His ability to change the world is limited by his meagre intellect and his short life span. Furthermore, as a member of an endangered species, he has to face the prospect of personal death as well as species extinction. He could one day be the last of his kind.
