I know you are in Illinois so if you need a good dr that will actually take care of you then I would recommend Rush University's pain management sector (312-942-6631). They can usually get you in within a week and will probably admit you right away. They have the best treatments in the whole state (including ketamine). Please work really hard on making some progress tomorrow and fight like your life depends on it, as that might actually be the case. It makes me sick to hear how you are being treated (or lack of care in your case). Time is of the essence with CRPS and especially with all your other alarming symptoms. My heart goes out to you and you will be in my prayers and thoughts. Also, if your not in chi town or Rush is to far for you to travel to please let me know because I have a couple other Dr's that I can suggest that are in the suburbs of Chicago.

Thanks so much. I will keep that in mind and if I need additional help or advice I will take you up on that offer. Appreciate the thoughts and prayers...every little bit help.

Just to update...I got an appointment tomorrow with the neurologist. Funny thing is my primary care doc's office called today to say that the neurologist was waiting on some paperwork before admitting me (from the pain doc I assume). Which is strange because they already made the appointment for me on Friday (for April 1st)...so I am not sure what is going on at this point. I suppose I will find out tomorrow (maybe he's going to speed up the process after hearing from the pain doc and my primary care?).

Really appreciate everyone's advice and I am making out my list of questions/things to go over right now. You've all been very helpful. Thanks so much.
