What a complete jerk this guy is makes me so mad for you katiek - like you need some idiot with no idea patronising you and doing the 'it's all in your head' routine.....grrrr.......

I've seen several docs who claimed to know about CRPS but clearly didn't know it very well when it came right down to it. The problem is that it is a rare condition and few docs have the time we all do to really research it and learn about treatments etc. it's frustrating and scary though, you start to wonder who you can trust to treat you.

If you know he was wrong about you on so many levels, then ignore everything he said and find another psych who can help you deal with living with this, and not make you feel worse.

Good luck

Bram.
