It’s funny how they won’t even look at the documents from the three docs that have identified my condition as CRPS II. It’s ridiculous.
The funny thing is that if anything I am guilty of not taking enough pain meds when I have breakthrough pain, and the pain ends up getting ahead of me. I have a love/HATE relationship with meds. And other times, when I took ALL the meds I have to resolve the pain (and that’s a lot), there was no getting past it without some big gun pain killer.
It is hard enough to deal with the fact that I am losing my ability to walk, and the shear volume of pain, that I am forced to plead my case EVERY SINGLE TIME, to every single medical “professional”, to gain some relief.
