I need to vent......like many of you I am dealing with w/c crap. I have been dealing docs trying to push meds, which don't get me wrong are great when things are bad. But, I am trying to go drug free. I had been doing accupuncture and other "alternative" methods. My doctor and I discussed biofeedback, great lets try it. I get to the w/c approved docs office......THEY SENT ME TO A F*%# SHRINK!  The first thing he says is Pain is an emotion.......blah blah. Yeah, its my emotions that are keeping me from doing the things I love and miss doing. Its what keeps me up all night. Its what makes me want to CUT OFF MY ARM! YES, ITS MY EMOTIONS! I can not believe this is what we have to go through. If they want me to see a therapist because I am depressed, fine I will. I will tell you how I hurt and how it has effected my life. But, don't tell me its my emotions or that its all in my head. And don't start out by saying lets start out from where were you born........how does that have anything to do with my RSD? And tell me you are sending me to a "Doctor of Behavioral Medicine" at a pain clinic instead of the actual pain management doctor. I wish each and everyone of these doctors that treat all of us had the pleasure of having RSD and we could tell them just relax IT'S JUST YOUR EMOTIONS! Sorry for yelling in here, and thanks for listening.

Hope everyone is doing well,

Peace to all,
