Jimmy Palmieri talks with Anne Strainchamps about living with intractable pain.  He has Behcet’s Syndrome, a hyper-immune disorder causing chronic headaches, fevers, nausea, joint pain, skin lesions and ulcerations. Palmieri describes his life, explains how he became a chef in spite of his illness, and claims that his native New York spitefulness is what keeps him alive.  That and his faith.
