Thanks Jane and LitLove for your suggestions about the vit C iv. I have been getting iv's of natural vitamins and minerals since Oct 2010 and I swear by them. I have tried everything over the last six years and I had a small percentage of relief compared to what I have now with iv minerals/vitamins. I did read a bit ago that vit c is very important for rsd sufferers so I have added a large chunk of a lemon to my tea every morning. It seems to be helping me and I am even exercising now too. I will be going back for my now once a month iv end of this month and I will speak to my neurologist that does the infusions about this suggestion. She told me it is really important for us to have minerals as our bodies are lacking it. It has made a huge difference in my life. I looked into the IVIG program and the stats are not great and the vitamin iv for me has a higher success rate. The heck with the ketamine as I tried it and the ICU turned into a nightmare for me last year...I will be "sticking" with my natural vitamins. I also believe the vitamins have actually helped to heal my body AND I have gotten off ALL PAIN MEDICATION which for me after 5 years of Fentanyl and everything else is a true miracle to me. Thanks for all your input for this idea and keep us up to date on your progress.
