[QUOTE=debbiehub;288996]Well, I made my appt. Going in July- HOpe it works- its $1000 for the week! No pain or side effects

Hi Debbie - I accompanied my friend with RSD to receive this treatment as part of Beth israel's clinical trial. The advertisement is not completely accurate. First of all, it does hurt. My friend described sharp electrical prickling stabbing sensations. And for the immediate hour or two afterwards, she was completely bewildered and her brain scrambled. It is essential that you have somebody with you, sitting in the family waiting room. You'll probably want to lie down. You will need to stay in the hospital for a couple of hours afterwards until you can stand up and walk. For my friend, it lessened (but did not eliminate) the RSD pain for about 6 hours each day. At the end of the 6 hours, the pain came roaring back. Nights were sleepless. My friend decided in concert with her doc there that it wasn't worth doing a second week of treatment because the pain relief didn't last; her RSD was too severe.
