Jo*mar, I can't think of where the pressure would be coming from because it's not a WC case, no lawsuits, no moneys coming from anywhere. We lost our insurance so I pay out of pocket. As far as a contractor is concerned I've not thought of that. Her doctor is a board certified pain specialist. What the lawyer provided me seems to indicate my wife's doc will perform it, because the doc told the lawyer to tell my wife to make an appointment for the test at her office. I did read however that this test is used also for SSDI cases.

daylilyfan, This statement "to do only what I can" is pretty much what I told my wife. I told her you can only do what you can do and it aint much so try not to worry. I've explained we have 8 years of medical records indicating the progression of RSD, nothing, not some half hour form indicating whether you can put one foot in front of another would indicate that you'd be a high candidate for employment. I've worked for nearly 40 years and if I were to interview her for a job, she would be turned down, she is and looks to be in pain. Not a good sign to hire especially when attempting to add a very sick girl to one's health insurance rolls.

Just do only what you can.
