I'm very upset...crying all the time lately...sick of being tested and poked and prodded and judged by everyone. Btw, every test I've had in the last 3 years have shown evidence of CRPS in all four extremeties!

It's not uncommon for professionals who are not knowledgeable about rsd to suggest that "it's all in one's head".
I am assuming that "L&I" means lawyers & insurance. If that's the case, I gently suggest that it's not in their best interest for you to have rsd but rather a somatoform disorder. (and much cheaper.)
I think an independent specialist familiar with rsd should clarify things. Additionally, if your case involves workman's comp or any type of legal proceedings, I'd suggest you have your own representation.
