Mark,
I live in MA too. This state could care less about those of us with health issues. My Doc did not put dowm RSD. He put mostly that if I fell it would cause major problems and that my condition will not improve ever. Keep trying, I know its hard don't give up.Try to see your state rep. in your area. Go right to the office. Richard Neal helped me alot. Good Luck. also e-mail the Gov. He seems to care a little more than the last one.
