I'm sorry that things didn't work out as you had hoped. You are right, with rsd comes depression, the two go hand in hand. To get the scs I needed a psych exam. Yes, I was depressed, but like you, I had the ability to pick myself up and start over. Of course, I got the scs. In fact, I got two. didn't work out as well as I had hoped, and the 2nd one left me with MRSA and about 24 hrs short of dying before it was discovered. I now have a pm that is willing to work with me with drugs, and I have found Opana Er to be great. It really seems to work with the pain of rsd. It's a new drug only out 2 yrs so it is still new. I have rsd from my back all the way down to the tip of my toes. so for me this drug really seems to be a way for me to go on. What is on the horizon nobody knows, but you can bet I'm going to be there waiting. Hang in there.(I know, easier said then done)

Hugs
Mary
