Unfortunately when you're dealing with wc, it's all about money! I know cause I've been there. Each doc I saw dx'd me with rsd and at the next visit I was treated like crap and worse than crap, called a liar, a junkie, and a faker by the doc who had dx'd me just days before. It's because wc had called them after receiving the first report with the dx and reamed the docs out for it and ordered them to take it back. They then did exactly what wc asked them to.

The bad news is there is nothing we can do. WC is holding all the cards and they know it. In Florida there are no lifetime medical benefits or anything. I say I won in the end because they didn't beat me, I took what I knew I could get and got on with my life. I have a fantastic doc who cares and is very knowledgable about rsd. I am taken seriously.

I hope one day you will be free to do what you want and have a good doc too. Until then, know that you are not alone! Many are and have gone through WC hell too.

Big, Huge, Gentle Hugs,

Karen
