Heart Thank You All
I appreciate your words of encouragement, and each of you have helped me. I still can't stop the tears from flowing. Yes, I am over sensitive;however, to think that THIS is the BEST anyone can do for me is unacceptable. I was dx 15 months out from initial injury. Too late for blocks, or anything!

The IME's nurse said that I should be glad it happened now, not 7 years ago, when RSD/CRPS was not really considered a proper dx. I replied, the outcome is the same,isn't it? I have no active life, I am homebound, and I still deal with doctors that just aren't informed. This didn't have to BE this way...


love you,
Dew
