Nice to see you back L Diana.
Seems like years since BT went down. So, how have you been?
Any update on how you are feeling?

I know you had some tough times..Yes, many have had spread,
too bad many doctors don't believe in it or only believe it goes from one side to the other.

It seems to me there are a lot of doctors who don't know much about rsd,
but there are just as many who are ignorant and from the OLD SCHOOL.

They think you have to have 10 symptoms all at the same time and forever.
Updated studies are proving differently,..... i.e. symptoms at "some time"
of swelling. Some studies show some cases show symptoms except PAIN start to go away after a few years, or that they come and go.
How do we get these doctors re-educated?
Pain remains and is the major problem. But pain is subjective, so they doubt you have RSD if you need to change doctors due to moving.

We've discussed it before on the formum that many of us have different
symptoms than the next person. Docs need to get a clue about that.

Off my soapbox now, and hoping that all have a good nights sleep and wake up feeling better. One of those good pain days........isn't that an oxymoron.

Anyway, nice to see you and please come back often. WE've missed you

{{{hugs}}}
