In Remembrance

LWood,
I go to Dr Knobler, he's in Fort Washington, and is slowing down a bit these days. He was partners with Schwartzman a couple of decades ago @ Jefferson, in Philly. I can get you his #, if you'd like. What type of doctors are you seeing now? I often preach this "triangle of rsd care". Your Meds = Your Doctor (Neurologist more than likely). Your Mind = It's good to see a pain management Psych doc for a while, and re-up occasionally). Your Health otherwise = EXCERCISE, and follow general good health guidelines. RSD is a Use it or lose it disease, as I'm sure you know. I've had it since 83. So, do you have a good neurologist? That's what Knobler is, along with Ph.d. (psych). Start there, do you have a good hospital, best bet is a University hospital. Get to the "Cheif of Neurology". Or someone there who does know RSD. Use the phone, and ask questions, like you're an employer testing a new hire! (That's exactly what you're doing). If that doesn't work, find a pain management facility. Many hospitals have them. I'm sorry that you don't like Dr Schwartzman. It does seem that he is channeling all his energy into his ketamine thing. I know Dr Knobler is great, but he's almost two hours from Lancaster, but he IS only a mile from the turnpike! He does specialize pretty much in RSD, and MS. Let me know, if I can help? Pete asb |
