I've eagerly been checking responses to this thread ... but nobody has responded to me

If anyone has any thoughts or input to my questions posed to my first post on this thread I would greatly appreciate hearing

I keep up with all current research (medically driven: Dr. Oaklander's recent clinical research/findings, the work Dr. Schwartzman does with ketamine, etc, etc) ....

But none of this, or anywhere else that I have ever read, defines if the onset of RSD, which appears to be related to inflammation of nerve fibers, may or may not be directly related to ones personal stress during time of initial injury. Also if self-inducing, very volunteerily attempting to slow down nervous systems via breathing, meditation, etc has helped others (although very short-term help).

I've been inclined to think if research starts to point to inflammation - I wonder if the next steps for the reseachers would be determining *how* to break down inflamation; I wonder what this would involve. Anyway who has any input on any of these things, I would really love to hear from you and share thoughts, albeit maybe a bit rambling thoughts - at least on my end.

This condition can be extremely tiring, and with the snow/cold weather (at least where I live) -- my pain levels are very high, which causes frustration and some depression, and needless to say --- exhausted with it all
