My wife who has RSD went to one of these doctors just before she was approved for SSDI (3 year ordeal). If memory serves me correctly these examiners are a bit different in that they follow some sort of procedure in order to come to a quick conclusion. Its not treatment, its more like the government is laying its eyes on you before approving your SSDI, if that makes sense. My wife was in the office with this guy for 15 minutes and that was it, very simple stuff. Her RSD started in her broken right wrist and spread over time.

Yeah on drs being idiots I have way too much experience. Don't let them get you down or irritate you too much. And yes having a "touch" of RSDS is like being a"touch" pregnant lol. Where do they find idiots? I think there are some villages wanting their idiots back or they through them out for being idiots. I don't show all the classic signs myself. I dont have the skin discoloration or nail problems. Still doesn't mean I dont have it. I am about to start the process to get more VA disability and the first time around was bad. So here we go for round 2. Just thinking about this has me cringing, and thinking of taking rope to hang any idiots up by their ankles with a sign lol.

And this is why we all need to get AWARENESS of this disease out there!
