Hi RSD_PITA, welcome.
I read your post in the RSD forum. I'm not from Washington, but I've known other painees who are. As you probably know, it's one of the worst states for chronic pain patients due to bureaucrats & politicians playing doctor—
badly—in the opinions of many.
New state law leaves patients in pain
I hope there are some Washingtonians here who can help. The best I can offer is some general search links.

The second link also shows some discussions
here (NeuroTalk), but I would try the archives (Search function) as well. I would also urge you or your friend to spend some time in the RSD forum for information & suggestions on treatments & coping.
Best wishes to you & your friend,
