To deny there not being a psychological component to CRPS is ignorant as we watch our bodies and lifestyle change in ways we could never have dreamed possible, but that doesn't mean you've gone banana's, it only means you're going through the stages of surprise, denial, and acceptance that we've all gone through at one stage or another.

Don't let these lawyers try and blame your mental health as being the problem because they're wrong. Meanwhile hang on to your hat because whoever said our legal system is about finding the truth is living in Wonder Land. While RSD might not drive us crazy, the odds of surviving the legal system can be more than enough reason to find ourselves in a place where they lock us in tight each night and give us a cookie every afternoon around 3 while nurses pass out medication that puts the brain in la-la land. Hang tough and make sure you've got good legal representation and you will survive it, but the only mental health concern I have for you is in regards to our courts, never the RSD. Now please excuse me, I think I just heard the nurse say it's cookie time. Bob.
