I started reading this post and responding because I thought there was a need for some genuine support.

I cannot believe that the doctors give y’all this kind grief. It mentally makes sense, but it is quite appalling. The more of you that post, the more that I am angered!!!!

I am not real trustworthy with doctors to begin with but I am a small petite woman and in some cases, especially with doctors that know me, I have not had any major problems. I did in the beginning arm myself with knowledge, just to be prepped to fight with them. Lucky for me, all my doctors at least have heard of RSD and know to be careful touching and turning.

It breaks my heart that y’all have to fight harder just because you are men and are expected to put on that brave face. This is Crap! Plain ole' Crap!
All I can say is try to arm yourself with knowledge, fight them with brains. Take information that proves that this illness, cause more pain than most people experience in a lifetime.

Gentle Hugs,
