I went in today for my SSd doc appt. I saw a phsyciatrist and he seemed to onlly be checking my competence. He did not let me talk much about what was going on with my RSD and when explaining to him I felt like I was being cut off. Has any one had an appointment with a phsyciatrist for SSD process. Thanks if any one has input would be glad to here it. Angela

A psychiatrist is a MD
ABrown, I've heard that we RSD'rs often have SSDI psych evals to make sure we don't fit the 'malingerer profile' I didn't have one, but that's what I've heard. Obviously, they could also be looking to see if the depression that so often comes with RSD and chronic pain is severe enough to qualify you or add enough to your case to help you qualify.

Thanks finz I know that they are Doctors too, but I just wondered why they did not want to talk about how my RSD affects my everyday life. I had never heard of seeing a phyc doc for Social Security Disability. I am new at this and it is all kinda wierd I guess. Thanks for letting me know though possibly why I needed to see them. Appreciate all the answers! Thanks!

My experience with SSD medical reviews is that a lot of times the doctors have already made up their minds as to what they believe you have because they have read your report. I had multiple MD and psych evaluations during the 4 year approval process. Make a report to your attorney or for your records as to anything unusual that happened while you were being reviewed. For instance, what one doctor did was totally against the rules and his opinion was tossed out by the court. You have to have a good attorney.
