I have heard in the past from other docs that if i were to switch docs that i would have a heck of a time getting one to see me since i have 2 stims in me and meds are not working. Docs dont like touching another docs patients is what they said... soo??? Im lost...

One strategy to try is to have your doctor call the clinic directly. Doctors will always take calls from other doctors, whereas when lowly patients call, they get shunted to the rude nasty front office staff or nurse who is paid to get rid of hard patients. I think there is a secret doctor handshake!
Seriously. Ask your doctor to help get you a "consult". Surely he will understand your frustration; he probably shares it.
Don't give up just because your doctor has reached the limits of his comfort zone and/or knowledge! This is so common with RSD and treatments. You can search PubMed for the latest articles and get up to speed, too - knowledge is power!
