Welcome to the club,,,I think its safe to speak for everyone here ,that we all have been thru the mill when it comes to trying to get the dr's to come down into the gray area that we live in and have a 2 way conversation,,and I personally think ,that it insults them that we try to diagnose ourselves,,but to be honest Our bodies tells me when somethings wrong whether they want to believe or not,,,,,Start looking for another dr if your not satisfied,,And your right,,Alot of dr's dont know or havent heard about rsd,exspecially the emergency room,,Good luck to you,,,theres alot of informative people here,,and most of all ask God to help you,,And empathy has gone out the widow with alot of dr's,,,somethimes its like they just run as many patients thru like a drive thru or like their hearding cattle,,I am so disapointed with the world[not just the medicaal world],,thats why I depend and put my hope in God,,Good luck to you,and speak your peace when your at the dr's office,,Lord knows that ive infuriated many a dr,,,,,,,,Im not proud of It,,,but when I do a job ,,I do my best to do it right,,were not perfect,but we should do what is right,,, ,,,,,bobber
