it is okay to vent. I know when I got my letter. I was ****** off. Between them saying I need to take my medical records and it is yet another doctor. I think it is bull. They should have all the records that I collected for the 1st IME dr. sent. I shouldn't have to go prancing around every where to get them.

They put way to much stress on a person.:mf_arg ue:

hahaha, you totally made me lol! I love your last line...soooo funny! Thanks for that...I needed it
P.S. I hope that hug didn't hurt!

I keep all my records.. Today I went to a hearing that i had atty set up for treatments.. . the judge allowed the proceedings to occur in my absence, and an hour earlier than I was told to be there. when i showed up my atty said that I won another hearing. but the judge almost decided with the ins. until all my papers i sent to my atty were shown to judge and the IME I just had the ins said they didn't have results to. but my atty did.. funny how ins didn't have it. but the IME dr sided with me stating a treatment plan that agrees with my dr,s. I leave nothing to chance if i can avoid it.. I keep every thing and highlight important lines. It helped me here and my last 5 hearings. but comp is a real pain in the tuchaS..

It's the old "invisible injury" factor, wc does it to anyone with any sort of hard to prove injury, probably even for injuries that can be "seen" & proved by imaging or the usual accepted tests.
Plus you have to be able to convince them that the injury was due to your job or while on the job.

I would think RSD claims are extra difficult because the documentation of symptoms & timeline has to be tied to whatever the original injury was that caused the RSD.. tough one.
