Hi I'm Mark ,I was Dxed with RSD back in 1968 ,I have hurt so badly ,had terrible feart with Doctors changing then the next Doctor trying to implant something that didnt work at all (we are all different what works for you may not work for me and vice versa ) I just think it was what a Doctor believed in .Finally though pain medicine is no longer looked at with Doctors feeling each RSDer is an addict ,if they hurt like us they woud probably try Morphine too ,it takes the edge off .In 1983 I foolishly shot myself in the heart which made my RSD much worse of course . Now Im in Oregon and it is very hard still but I am also still alive anbd kicking .It is hard to walk and I am greatful to music ,to the internet and most of all to having a girlfriend ,I'm 54 ,I'm hurting bad right now but am seeing my Doctor today if I can ever help anyone ,I am at rsder1 at Gmaildotcom or maybe I will see you here ,let your Doctor know how bad your Depression ,you probably need help there (unless you are happy about being in such incredible pain) if nothing else ,I have learned in the last 40 years of RSD plus Fibro and PAD etc ,is there is always help ,I havent been here in many years I used to come to the RSD Chats here in the 90s Good Luck

Gentle Hug rsdno
