fakes out the signals from the foot and I can catch the flare early with this trick.
It is a Blue gel of ice to sit on floor under the foot for ten econds, and then ten seconds of a bowl of rice, then repeat a time or two. I do NOT have a habitual flared RSD foot though.

I am utterly surprised by sudden advice to use ice on RSD affected areas!!
That is a no no, and definitely should not be tried!
Ada, I am most surprised by you... you are a huge Hooshmand fan, and claim to have read his book, I know you read his articles... and yet, he states it time and again that ice should not be used. I do hope you haven't used the ice much and I hope that you won't continue it... it'll make you worse.
I know that on this message board you can state your own opinions, and I can state mine. But mine can be held up with studies, articles and anecdotal reports that you can not, should not EVER use ICE on RSD affected areas.
I am just so so surprised by the sudden advice that ice should be used. Other than the nerves being damaged... RSD causes circulation impairment and it'll only worsen with the application of ice.
I hope that no one will follow this advice. Remember, just because someone risked it and survived doesn't mean you will. It's better to play safe than sorry. Remember to always look into any advice you are given.
Here's some sites that I found on a fast search to back up my statements.

Ice is not advised for anyone with circulatory problems. Avoid ice if you have RSD, Raynaud’s rheumatoid arthritis, or diabetes.

That's just in a quick search... I can find the studies and other articles if anyone's interested.
BUCKWHEAT:speaking of the lesions, is it like a sore? Because I am getting them... just wondering.
