It's very discouraging. I honestly don't know where to go next. The docs and administrators I have come into contact with so far at the BI in Boston have been awful. It's such a bummer.

Looks like I will be soon looking for a new doc. I wonder what the average annual doc turnover rate for us RSDers is?

Have a nice evening, Sandy

The HMO system is frustrating at best. National health care will be worse (HMO run by the government).

Sandy, I wish the best for you!

The HMO system should be criminal. It's a farce and all its really done in the last thirty years is create a production line out of patients. Just like many crafts and trades have been manipulated these past 50 years using strict business models to maximize profits the same has been done in the medical field thru insurance companies. The big money is not generated thru quality so much as it is volume.

Leave it to Insurance companies to want to make everything, every skill, into a commodity!

Grrrrrr.

That is correct, commodity. I've been in the printing business for over 30 years and it is considered a commodity and it really isn't. 98% of everything we print is completely different from one another. Different counts, paper, sizes, inks, type of printing from letterpress, offset, digital toner, digital offset, variable data printing not to mention a thousand different bindery operations. Yet, it is treated as a commodity, like a roll of toilet paper and printers are failing in record numbers all over the US.

Default Rsd/crps
I have RSD/CRPS and have had it for 4 years and have been told there is nothing more that can be done for it. I have been rated 25% whole body disabled and I would think someone has more to say or do out there than what ive gone through with my treatment. Anyone have any ideas/comments or suggestions? Im in the midwest- so not here, I guess they are out of ideas. I dont want to live the rest of my life this way if i have a shot of not having to, who would (right!).
