Jimking - I have talked to a lawyer who specializes in SS. And I have a friend who is an adjudicator in another state. Both have given me guidance.

danella - thanks! I expected to have to get an EMG - but he said he thought it was not needed, and with the RSD, would be very painful. My family doc has ordered bloodwork to rule out some things like diabetes, vit. b deficiency.

This was a neuro I had gone to when I first developed RSD - ten years ago. He was the first one to figure out I had RSD. I had confidence in him because of that.

Mrs.D - That is where I found the PN and avelox connection. I don't understand how it was so easy for me to find, yet he sat there and said he could not find any correlation.

Doctors! Grrr
