Geronimo,
Find the nearest
University Hospital.
Get online, and go to their website. (You might hafto do some traveling, but, an hour or three drive is normal for this).
University Hospital, usually in a city.
Check out their "Neurologists".
Call, the "Cheif of Neurology, you'll speak to his secretary.
Tell your "short story" (Have note pad in hand),
and, find which one, if not the "Cheif" him/herself, is interested in treating your RSD. (Still, in this Day and Age, we must put up with ninny arsed doctors who don't believe it even exists!).
So, basically what I'm asking you to do is, "Hire a doctor".
Check them out.
Ask the tough questions BEFORE you go there! (NOT about drugs), you just want HELP!
Do they know RSD? (yes)
Do they treat RSD? (yes)
Do they have other patients with it, and are they fairly successful? (tough to answer)
(These are "kiddy" questions, that a used car salesman could answer).
But, doctors aren't usually liars.
So, to recap.
Get on the computer, (I think you're there already)
Google university hospitals for cities near you.
Go to their websites,
Contact their "Cheif of Neurology" (whom, you've already read about on their website).
Once you call several, you'll narrow it down, and get a "good feeling" about it "In Your Gut".
GO! (After working out the ins drama)...
PS I found this, it's old, but the doctors may be relavant.. You might want to contact them, They're TEACHING about RSD! (In Fresno)!

I wish you the very best!
We're all here for you,
