For the past 3 years I have developed a variety of different, intractable health issues that I have been repeatedly told are not RSD related.

When I saw my PM the other day I brought in a print out from a CRPS power point by a CRPS expert specifically detailing all these problems. Basically, he ignored it all and referred me to a neurologist for my wake-up migraines and told me to go back to the dermatologist for the matching bilateral rashes on my legs. He told me to go back to see the gastroenterologist, too.

I was so down after this, because the prescription he gave me for voltaren gel was denied and I am quite sure I will be rejected for more aqua PT. Why did I bother going?

But it turns out bothering was good, because by following through with the neurologist, this doctor has confirmed these horrid headaches are RSD related, as are all my other symptoms. And this happy outcome exists only because he just finished attending an RSD lecture series. Finally, some serendipity.
