I do all the other stuff too; meditation, artistic outlets, biofeedback, etc. but nothing works as well as the combination of meds they have me use to knock it down.
I don't mean to alarm anyone else that is courageously fighting the good fight. It's extreeeeeeemly rare. 99.9% of us will never experience this phenomenon. At least that's what the docs say.

Hi Jet, I'm so sorry you have gone thru this. Must have been so scary.
Yes, I have heard of this condition. It is when a person is in extreme stress.
Biofeedback and meditation, visualization are wonderful tools to use. My Dr. a
Neurologist, Phychiatrist, and Pharmacologist says the anxiety meds are as important or more so as pain meds. They will bring the pain down.
Anxiety is a big part of this disorder. It has to do with the Limbic System in the Brain. Before I knew I had RSD, Had panic disorders for first time in life and couldn't figure what was going on.
That plane still looks a lot like the one my son in law flies.
I hope for calmness and peace for you. Your friend, loretta
