[Guest guest]

I was diagnosed with RSD in 1987. I have had several years of

Physical therapy and several surgeries for this decease. I have it in

both legs. In march of 2001 I was diagnosed with CMT by 2 doc. now

last tuesday I saw a Doc. in Santa Ynez Ca. He tells me he doesn't

think that I have either disease, and that he is'nt dure what I have

but he doesn't think it is what Iv'e been told all these years. I

ahve agreed to go see another Doctor { this is number 32} this Doc.

is a pain specialist in Santa Barbara Ca. I'am sechedualed to have a

interveinas Lidocaine Infusion nexy Tuesday for the RSD and the Cmt

pain that Iam having I take oxicontin everday 240 milligrams. Now I'm

not sure of what to do next. Has anyone been told they have this

disease and then told they don't, I have been in this group for

awhile and have learned alot about this disease and identified with

so many of you. Don't get me wrong I would be happy to find out

everyone is wrong and what I have is fixable but then am afraid to

get my hopes shattered again Iam in my 50's and would like good news

for a change. have any of you been thruogh anything similar
