I'm sorry Jenn - you're right that I do mean well - I didn't mean to say that you're not experiencing what you are, or that it's just all in your head. I have been through similar stuff with doctors too. I was commenting more in reference to some of Jerie's post ie "this disease USUALLY spreads" and "full body RSD oven ON." From what I went through personally I found that reading and hearing scary/negative things influenced what I believed about RSD, which in turn made the actual symptoms worse. Was just trying to say that our beliefs play a big role in how we feel, and I'm really sorry that it came off as an attack on you. Hope you go from an 8-9 all the way back down to zero some day super soon.
