Default Dr.Phil show, help get the word out about RSD

I wrote a letter to the Dr.Phil show about RSD. They were looking for medical nightmares. Well I got a call back. I was not expecting this. They said they would get back to me this week. I was thinking maybe it would help if everyone wrote in, so they don't just think it is one person that has this. I think it might make it more real to them, and show interest. I don't really want to be on the show, but my wanting to get the word out about RSD is much stronger then my fear of being on TV. My hope is that if more people know about it we can get more funding, and maybe push for new/more treatments. You can put a mark on the e-mail that says you don't want to be on the show. I'm not sure if it is Dr. PHil or the new show they are doing Ask The Doctors. It does not really matter to me, as long as we can get the word out.

I was so surprised!! It took me a few minutes to understand what the lady was saying to me. It is not for sure that anything will come of it, but I have made it past the first step. They had me e-mail pictures of myself, so that is a good thing.

I will!!!! I figure if nothing else the lady I spoke to, and the producers she spoke to, all know that RSD is out there now. I have done what I hoped to do, in getting the word out there. So maybe the next person the writes in they will have on the show. I am stillhoping that all goes through, but if not then its okay because I got so much farther then I thought I would!

That Was Exactly My Goal As Well So I Am Glad That U Got Done What I Was Hoping 2 Accomplish!! The Most Fabulous Thing Would B If They Had A Whole Show On Rsd And There Were Multiple Ppl On The Show With It!! But U R Rite That At Least 2 More Ppl Kno About This Horrible Disease

Default Address

Does anyone have easy access to the address? I would like to send a letter as a child of a parent with RSD. It is a different perspective.

[I have a great suggestion for a show topic. How can I submit it?

We would love to hear your suggestions and encourage you to Share Your Story or Ask Dr. Phil a question.

I have a problem and want Dr. Phil's help.

The only way to get a face-to-face meeting with Dr. Phil is to Be On The Show. You can also Ask Dr.Phil a question via e-mail. Due to the volume of requests, we cannot make any guarantees.
