My pm dr recommended accupunture and so I went to one and explained my rsd to her and she said she understood what it was and it was okay to put pins in my body even my rsd arm. After four painful visits with her my rsd spread to all my limbs in a matter of 2-4 weeks. I stopped going to her and told my pm dr.
They said that she probably shouldn't have put needles in my rsd arm. I told them that I wished they told me that before I went to her and that I thought she knew what she was doing (since she told me as much). That's when I got the blank stare. I'll never do it again. I know a nurse that said she had rsd and an accupunturist helped her go into remission, but he stayed away from her rsd area. Unfortunately, he was not covered my my insurance. Anyway, I do like my pharmacist, so I'll check with him. And I do like some of my drs, just not the ones who made life changing mistakes with my health. I know people make mistakes, but I didn't get even as much as an apology or any sign of concern from them. That would have meant so much to me. It would have made me feel more like a human being and not just a statistic.
Sorry, I still have to work through these angry feelings I have towards some of my drs with the help of my psychiatrist. It's hard and I don't mean to sound so full of rage to all of you. I know you're just trying to help, and I hope you don't take what I say personally. It's not you. Thanks again for your advice again and I will check with my pharmacist. He is awesome. Hope you have a great night Nanc.
