But next on my list after I get back to work and figure out how to balance my life with the limitations of the RSD: Disney World! Lol! That's probably still another year off yet but with a new goal in mind it will keep me focused on continuing my therapy (which I do all on my own now and not as part of a program or anything) and pursuing better treatment options like (hopefully) tDCS. Honestly...setting goals for myself and then working with a doctor to achieve those specific goals has been the best way for me to go instead of just letting myself be at the mercy of the doctors. I ended up with a very compassionate doctor who has just been a godsend.

I really hope you get on the right track this year so that you can get back to living your life instead of just surviving and making it through. Finding the right doctor who can get you there is such a huge piece of the puzzle. If you can get that nailed down I am sure that you will get your life back. It'll never be the same of course, but once you have lost so much just getting even a small piece of that back feels like such a big win. At least...I know it feels that way for me. You've got the right attitude so I have no doubt that you'll be able to accomplish great things once you find that doctor who wants to and is able to help you.
