When I was first diagnosed with rsd, I asked my pm dr if it was curable. He said yes. I was so happy to hear this! Then I went home and did some research on rsd to educate myself on it. I found nothing saying that rsd was curable. I only saw that it could go into remission. So I went back to my pm dr and asked why he said rsd was curable when everything I read said the contrary. He said that if someone has rsd and then goes into remission until they die, then it's the same thing as being cured. Needless to say, I don't see this pm dr anymore. I don't believe he was honest with me and I don't trust him because of this. If rsd goes into remission until I die, it does not mean it is cured. It means it went into remission until I died. To me there is a big difference and I just needed to express my point of view on this subject. I do appreciate you trying to help offer your point of view on this thread though vision. I know you're just trying to help. Thanks.
