Dr. Easton diagnosed my RSD when no one took the time to listen or consult with expert specialists. That has made all the difference. My husband, a VA patient, has Parkinson's Disease. It steals a little bit of his mind, body, and spirit away every day and there is no cure. It can isolate you from the world outside. Who do you talk to when people ask how you are?
