Welcome Kevin,

You will probably notice that there are far more women on this site than men. Too bad it's not a social place, or we might be in heaven.

Seriously, I believe that statistics show RSD attacks women more frequently. This may lead some doctors to disbelieve the diagnosis. It's good you have a doctor with enough foresight to get past that preconception.

Anyway, I am glad to 'meet' you. Remember, this site can be used for information, questions, opinions, and venting. If you are having a bad day, week, whatever, feel free to come on and "let it blow."

Mike
