Yep! WC can be a nightmare for sure.
Do you have an RSD lawyer?
If you got someone fighting for you WC is a little easier to deal with.
I lucked out as far as the WC for the company I was working for. They did become A...holes at settlement time though.
I wish you the best in your trials...

They've made this all 10x harder and the WC doctor pretty much said my pain isn't real...that I'm faking. Why would I fake this??? How could anyone fake this pain??? I would LOVE to go back to work, I loved my job as a welder, it was my passion. I had no clue what RSD even was when I was diagnosed and trust me just like everyone else I'd rather work that have this crap. I take that back I hate 2 things...RSD and WC.
Hi Katie , my case is also wc and crps on my right foot,ankle and on my calf ,but is spreading to my back,left foot,right arm and dr are ignoring my complaints because after all my injury is on my right foot and ankle, can you believe that? I have a spinal cord stimulator implanted on jan 2013 and battery repositioned on jan 2014 because of the pain that causes flare ups generating from the battery on my left buttocks,who in their 5senses will get surgeries,spinal block injections just because you want to pretend your ill,obviously,nobody,but insurances and dr are just playing around with people like us doing the most expensive medical treatments so they can get the most money but mean while we paid the price suffering,is enough by being sick,is worst been with crps because has no cure and you don't know if tomorrow will be a good day,we do understand your position,if your dr don't listen well,get a new one,after all they are working for you,you need to look for what is good for you,you don't need an ignorant telling you that you have nothing wrong because your body knows that is something wrong,don't give up,keep asking questions and never let your dr leave that room without the response you need,keep trying,if he or she don't listen,get a new one,there are dr who do listen and understand that our pain is real,hope you get better,hope you have a better day every day,if tomorrow is not that good,we'll,let it pass,and the day after will be good,blessing to you and all our friend in neuro talk, from Jesika.

Confused new member PTSD/panic/agoraphobia

Hi!
So I'm very new to forums. I've been diagnosed with PTSD, panic disorder, and agoraphobia. I've been on Paxil CR for about 8 years and clonazapam for the same. Now my doctor wants to switch me to Prozac and Xanax long lasting. Today is my first day on Xanax (last night) and just need to take clonapin as needed. Has anyone been threw either of these changes? I feel like I'm withdrawing really bad and just want to curl up in a ball and cry....not to mention extremely hungry!

Please help....

Welcome Cherik

You've posted on our RSD/CRPS forum by mistake.

Here is our forum for medications
http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/forum72.html

I would also like to suggest our other community, PsychCentral, as more members there will be able to offer support and info for the conditions you are dealing with
http://forums.psychcentral.com/
You will need to register again there, but can use the same info as here.
