Hi Trix,
Oh dear, sorry to hear what you're going through - others have been through similar, sure they'll be along later to help out but...you have joined the "club" or forum if you're posting.
Membership fees? No such thing here, you just come in, hunker down just like you've done, and get real comfortable.
Unless that was wit I detected i.e. the "RSD Club Membership fees" as in "high price to pay"?
Some suggestions for surgery have been grape seed extract, Vit C in industrial amounts, Vit E some special type...(actually add all those up and that's one expensive pharmacy bill anyway

).
So glad you're here, others know much more than me about this, I'll skidaddle,
Take care now, all the best.
