Thanks for the information. Fortunately (or unfortunately) he already has a well-documented diagnosis of anxiety, which of course, the RSD is amplifying greatly

I filed for it last october, and was approved in december.. very quick but I also have multiple issues.(i used an attorney) I suggest you do the same. First thing I would suggest is see if his job offers short term disability as if they do offer it it will come much quicker. two I suggest you fill out a FMLA for and submit it . that is a Family Medical Leave Act form.. It allows you up to a year of medical leave before they can terminate his position. If he qualifies. also how many doctors has he seen do they all have him dx,d as RSD/CRPS? and the shrink will he document his in ability to work, PT will need to fully document and have this information readily available. and the dr,s prognosis must all say that he will be un able to work for at least 1-2 years.. as usually you cannot file until you are already out of work for a year unless you know you will be out longer... but again I suggest you use an atty as this is your best and least stressful way of dealing with this... good luck. and welcome to RSD forum and in the same breath. sorry to hear that your husband is sentenced to this beast.. my best regards for you and your husband .. be well and god speed.
