Have a good night.
Glad you got in to see Schwartzman after less than three months. I have been on the cancellation wait list for two years and two months, and my appointment is not until November. I will have call to make sure I am still on the cancellation list. You are lucky that you had some lead time. When I got on the cancellation wait list they told me I would only have 24 hours notice, which was OK for me since we will be driving and didn't have to worry about flying arrangements.

I am glad he has made it easier to get appointments. When I first got on the list I had to have a referral from my PM doc and my records had to be forwarded to be approved first. It took a month just to hear back that I would be seen. Also, when I first got my appointment he was only seeing the most severe cases of CRPS.

Glad you are in a really good position with having symptoms for such a short time. Schwartzman may be able to get you into remission if you do have CRPS.

Better days are ahead for you!
