I understand your point of view, but my trust in medical professionals these days is very low. (That's not to say all of them.) (I have drs and lawyers in my family so I need to make this clear so that they don't get angry with me!) The medical professionals I had said that I should try accupunture, and after having those needles put in my body, my rsd spread to all of my limbs. When I told my drs about this, they said nothing. I just got blank stares. To me, that was inexcusable. Anyway, I appreciate your input too. I just have had too many bad experiences with drs and am too afraid to take the chance of spread. Thanks again though. And I hope you have a good night too.
