I finally had to tell him to stop or I was going to pass out from the pain and burning....he looked at me like I was nuts! This is the reason why I really hate doctors!

This is the reason, I think, my wife will be denied her SSDI. She refuses to go through any torture at all to prove she's ill with RSD. She's very stubborn that way and I don't blame her at all. She is now being told to perform like a circus animal (FCE test) to show she can no longer sell tickets at the local 3 ring circus. To me if one has RSD both severely in the beginning stage and ragged out from the disease after working 4 years with it and then fired when you could no longer work, you should receive the insurance you paid for for years if not decades of labor!
