Welcome ,I also have scs for almost year and half now,works well but at the beginning had hard time,the setting is so important and all the medications combine. I really hope your dr finds the right combo to reduce your suffering ,we all,had travel this far and many scs didn't work as long or how we expected but trying is the way you really know.
In www.rsdsa.og you will find some extra informations ,might be helpful and also www.howtocopewithpain.org will also guide you to learn how to retrain your brain in focusing in something else beside pain.
I wish you soon get some much needed relief and let us know how things are going we all,hope always the best,we are a friendly community really caring about each other's,gentle hugs from Jesika .
