I am absolutely 100% convinced when it pertains to RSD those living with this disease unfortunately live in the stone age as far as treatment goes. I am totally flbergasted the way people are treated and the ignorance most doctors seem to have and I do mean most. This disease is not common and maybe on the rare side but not so rare that these doctors remain oblivious.
I've seen many times doctors seem to think RSD patients are lazy or drug seekers or have some alterior motive and because of this I asked my wife's doctor (wife has RSD) in all the time in her career has she ever ran across a drug addict who faked RSD to acquire drugs or anything else for that matter. Answer was "Never".

firegirl, I pray you'll get relief, be persistant. My wife refuses all evasive treatments and always has.
