You can add just about everyone to this list. I was so upset and depressed about the pain/lack of help that I went to seek "Crisis" Counseling Because I was at the end of my rope.
The Psychiatrist I saw said that he knew what it was (RSD)
and his biggest focus was that perhaps I should get a job to keep my mind off of the pain!!! also, upon returning to a therapist a week later there, he said that we needed a "treatment plan" of what I was hoping to accomplish there, but just stating that I needed help dealing with the pain and support in dealing with the fact that virtually no one knew how to treat this disease, well, that wasn't accepted as a reason I needed help!!??? If I could "will" the pain away, I wouldn't need to be talking with theses people!! I showed him on the "mcgill pain index" that RSD was the most painful Chronic disease, and again the "mind over matter" thing came up. I then asked him if, I came in here stating that I was in horrible pain from cancer (less painful than RSD) the everyone from the medical community, to lawyers, to friends would be bending over backward to help me, because it was understood. he asked me how that related to me, I don't have Cancer. I'm still speechless. Have a pain lessened day, Kurt |
