Sandy,

Wish I knew what to say to make you feel better. I totally understand where you are coming from. It is so difficult dealing with the docs & trying to maintain a somewhat normal life (as much as we can). We just have to keep trying to find the ones that can help us and be assertive (I never was with doc before). I lost count of how many I have seen in the past 6 years. I remember my RSD anniversary. I feel like it is a milestone every year.
Hopefully, you can get more help soon & I hope today gets better for you.
Linmarie

Heart Sandy

No need to apologize for anything, my friend. Another year has gone by, and you are still working even though you have difficulties. That is a positive accomplishment in itself. You are a strong woman, as you have proven it by being as active as you are, no matter how painful.

Some of the doctors that we come into contact with are a thorn in our side; be it ignorance,arrogance, or just plain incompetence.

Then there are doctors that take the time to truly LISTEN and actually SEE their Patient. Not as many as we need and want as RSD patients;however, it is better than none at all.

I am happy that you are my friend,Sandy. You are strength and kindness all wrapped up in a sweet roll.

You are not alone, and most of all..you are loved and supported
