I could not find sympathetic maintained pain syndrome on forum so don't know if I am in right place. I am new dx and I am so relieved I am not crazy. Thank god for that one. I have no pain meds and I am suffering right now. you can read what happened on introduce yourself thread above.

I was called liar by a new MD. I moved recently and had to change doctors. I made mistake of thinking everything would be ok.

I don't see the new pain doctor until 16 may. I went to 2 ER.....NOBODY tried to help me, just judged me on the spot. BUT to their defense I did not know this is a severe pain syndrome and I have had this for 10 years so I don't writhe in pain anymore. I look almost normal except my back jumps. Also I don't express my pain anymore as I have learned to mask my pain for other people......sad huh. I finally found my own diagnosis by looking up my symptoms.

Anyway hello, and if anyone knows where I should post ....let me know....thanks.
