No need for the pigeon! LOL

RSD is a form of neuropathy... that only affects the sympathetic nerves.

The traditional PNs are complex and there are many causes.
But some supplements seem to calm them down, by improving mitochondrial functions when those go haywire.

Even excess histamine reactions can appear to be PN-like.

When nutrients like magnesium, Essential fatty acids, Vit C and others get low, then the cells cannot function to make energy and repair themselves.

Damaged peripheral nerves can repair themselves, but this takes time and effort by supplying the nutrients they need for this repair and by removing the trigger that is damaging them.
So one has to be a detective of sorts, and have a degree of patience. Each person is different, each has their own dietary habits (which might need changing) and also each has their own particular environmental insults which may be damaging the nerves.

There is a dramatic video out now on PD forum and MS, and I just moved it to PN : This illustrates dietary interventions.
