Hey Mike,

I think that if I agree to going in for more investigations with this doctor then i will end up on the psychiatric ward!! He had that look about him - that RSD is psychogenic - he spent far too long asking me about whether I had friends (yes), whether I enjoyed uni (yes), whether uni made it worse (yes), what I felt about carers (useful but wish I didn't have them). Doesn't help I'd mentally fallen to pieces and thus missed out loads of important medical facts from him - but I will try and get my normal neuro to sort things out.

The UK will not consider paying for the ketamine therapy, I asked the PM dr last time I saw him and the apin team don't feel they can do any more for me - although I have a new appointment with the Bath pain management people - as long as they don't try and get me on their "program" as I feel it would be a waste of time.

Grr - I just want to get on with my life, but i know I have to co-operate with the doctors so that they can carry on the inadequate treatment - because inadequate is better than none! oh well....

Thanks so much!!

Love
