Sorry you have RSD. Yes you will make some more friends here. I came here some years ago and never left because of the people I met. I have PN, not as bad as RSD. I use the Lidoderm patches, and get good relief. Maybe try them on the worst areas you have. I understand why you don't want your mental ability messed with while you work with saws.
You are an inspiration to others, to keep on trucking. No matter what our hurts are, trying to get the most out of life is what it is all about. Glad you like the guitar and play. Head of Joe Bonamassa? Have a good night with less pain. ginnie
