I completely understand what you went through and I am so sorry! Almost the same thing happened to me 2 years ago and my GP is handling ALL my meds and therapies. He is as frustrated as me and has made me a special case because there are no neuros that will help me with the meds that WORK!! I am soooo done with all the crap that I have had to go through just to get the correct diagnosis and being sent on a wild goose chase from dr. to dr. just to hear the same thing and have them "experiment" with my meds. My GP has found the right "cocktail" and so far so good. I have been on a combo of Noro, Topol, Xanax, Elavil, Baclofen and Celexa. I do PT at home because I know the exercises and I use a Wii Fit Plus program that I love. Don't these docs know that stress can make us flare and make the RSD worse? When I decided to fire everyone but my GP the relief of it all made me feel better. I cannot have a block because I have cerebral palsy that effects my legs and they are afraid that I could be paralized. I sure hope things get better for you. Finding this board and these wonderful friends on here saved me from myself.
Good luck and prayers sent,
Cindi
