Getting on disability is probably in my near future.
I'm wondering if it will be difficult to prove my case with my RSD in lower extremities. I live in a rural area and it seems NObody has a clue what RSD is.
The doctor who has been treating me since this all started (6yrs ago) is on the brink of retiring. Should I ask him for a reference letter now, even tho I'm not actively applying for SSDI (yet). Since he's been with me from the beginning and he knows everything about it, he's probably going to play an important role for stating my case.

Can anybody give me some pointers on what I need to be thinking about?
Very much appreciated.
