Hey to All! I am new to this site but have loved reading all of the stories for some time. My wife is a long term (greater than 10years) sufferer of RSD. Began as facial though is now spreading. We have tried most modalities of treatment and none have workled - except short lived good results from Ketamine infusions.

My question to you all: Have you, or anyone you know of, experienced tDCS and had side effects of flashes of light followed by a painful shock?

We are attempting tDCS and I am wondering if the placement of the anodal electrode may be involving the occipital nerve instead of just the motor cortex. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
