My disease went into remission some years ago, it came back full force in 2012. It started in my right leg and now has moved up my hips and into my left leg now. I have to use assistance when walking now. My son is not ashamed to carry my camo pink purse for me Anyways, I was supposed to start Ketamine treatments last month, than last week, than next week, now I got a call today postponing it once again until September. I have had to wing off my pain meds for this treatment, does anyone know what I can do to relieve some pain?? Any suggestions would help, I have tried everything I can think of and still no relief.

Thanks, and I look forward to getting to know people who suffer with the same thing. I know it's not a good thing but it did make me feel better when I saw this and realized I am not the only one who suffers from RSD.
Hi Brandy - I'm sorry you're in so much pain. Cool kid you got there

I don't know how to help much on the meds side, since individuals have such different tolerances and reactions. Many here have had success with lots of different modalities and will be able to chime in. A warm bath with epsom salt and soothing music was always good for me though.

For me, the biggest pain relief came from visualization methods and meditation. Here's how I started: http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/thread202210.html

Doesn't seem like much but it helped me
