I am a member of RSDSA (in Milford, CT, the director is Jim Broatch) but not the National Pain Foundation. I will have to check it out!
Diana, I am so sorry that you are having a tough time right now, I hope the dives help you. Did you say you have tried Lidocaine and/or Ketamine yet? I know you have had RSD for over 20 years. I am getting my first Lidocaine infusion in a few weeks, the blocks were becoming less with each successive one. They only do it for an an hour at a time, the subcutaneous actually sounds better....but I have to go with what it offered by my PM for now. Have you ever made an appt with Dr. S at Drexel in Philly?
Take care, Sandy

Thanks Sandy!
Ketamine was suggested to me but I declined. I really don't understand the lidocaine blocks. I had three series of stelate ganglion blocks early in treatment. They did 10 over ten days. I did this three times. Can you explain the difference ? Will you let me know how this works for you ? The HBOT works great, but takes three hours out of a day and there are side effects. I really need to do 40 dives and then maintain with maintence dives. But after 20 dives I usually stop.
Thanks for caring, sometimes this is a really tough row to hoe! I hope you are doing well. Thanks again! Di
