Hi Ozzie Land

RSD/CRPS sucks by any name, period.

Littlepaw's right on as far as internet hyperbole goes (and with just about everything she posts. You could do a Littlepaw post search and just follow her advice and you will see marked improvement. No pressure Littlepaw)

Also, since you're not that far into this (relatively), here's a list of all the stuff I did to fully recover: http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/thread205597.html

The physical stuff I'd wholeheartedly endorse is mirror therapy, water therapy, massage/densitization, DMSO and NAC, and an alkaline focused diet.

Mentally speaking, put everything you have into knowing that you're already healing, RIGHT NOW. Past is past, future is veiled; now might suck royally but it's all we have.
