I screwed up my email address,

it is tamaraleslie@hotmail.com

The reason I need pics is that my pain mgt. doc says "that's not what RSD look like" and "why don't you go find a dermatologist for that?"

It IS RSD, I've been diagnosed now for 5 years, and this guy (a D.O.) is just an idiot. I can't find any pics on the Web - does anyone have some saved as favorites? I'll take anything just to show this guy, yes, see, this is how we look...I KNOW this because when I used to have my TOS get-togethers, several had RSD and we all looked the same, just maybe different locations. I should have taken pics when I first had it really bad - but I didn't, and regret it now.

So again, this will not be used with your likeness or for litigation - just to show the guy this is what it looks like for others, now look at my arms, see the similarities? And, RSD is NOT a dermatological disease, it's a neuro problem...

Thanks so much to all.
