Hello Jo; Thanks for the link, and of course thanks for your support. I had a look on the rsd site. It very much sounds like rsd, symptoms etc. The gabapentin helped with some of the pain, first dose 40 minutes later had some relief. Why can't I get the help I need, it shouldn't take 3 years of me getting worse before this puzzle is pieced together. This site and you Jo and the gang have given me so much support, thanks again.
