Hi Debbie,

I used to talk to someone on another forum who tried Dr Rhodes STS treatment and it worked a little for her in the early days but she then became worse again and had quite a lot more pain than before the treatment. I'm not sure how she is doing now but she was looking into another doctor who she 'believed' could possibly "cure" RSD by doing several different things to her body.

My mum took all of the information on the STS treatment to my Pain Management Doctor to look into and he said that he had never heard of the treatment before and that he was also a bit baffled as to why it would help other conditions, not just RSD.

My Doctor adviced us to stay clear of the treatment as he had never heard of it before and there wasn't that much evidence that showed that it would help. We didn't really have the money to go for the treatmnet either as it is only in Texas and would cost a LOT to fly over there AND stay there for the treatments, return back for the STS reprogrammed etc.

I'm not sure what to make of the treatment really. I personally wouldn't try it until it was a wide known treatment for RSD.

I really hope that it helps you should you wish to try it! Just do a lot of research into it before you decide to go ahead with it and weigh up the pro's and con's!

Take care
