Hi Jenn, Littlepaw and RSDME,
Have any of you tried Pea Pure? It's a bit tricky to get in the U.S. nowadays, but it comes highly recommended by Dr. Sajben, among other CRPS-savvy doctors. My wife's parents live in the U.K. and have ordered it for us for her to try. There is a group called FitEyes that helps people get it in the U.S. It's supposed to be very helpful for allodynia and neuropathic pain in general. Links with more information below. She hasn't tried it yet so I can't vouch for it, but it looks interesting:
