Just goes to show that there is rarely just one thing that helps...but rather it is about taking all those treatments that you know and using them in combination to see results. Thank you for sharing all this...spread to new areas is always very scary and it is encouraging to hear that you CAN do something about.

For me...I will start my twice daily treatments with tDCS today. Fingers crossed that it is successful. I know there will probably be some trial and error involved in finding the right electrode placement and everything but I am very optimistic. Thanks again to everyone for their posts and suggestions.

A little late, but let me add my congratulations as well. Congratulations!!!

What you have accomplished is
HUGE. If, based on the stuff in my last post here, and other (far more reliable) sources, "spread" to a new extremity is in fact a fresh case of RSD/CRPS, then it follows that your protocol should be generalizable to all fresh cases of RSD/CRPS!!!

Seriously. Or as put in the land of pedantry, Q.E.D.

What more is there to be said? You rock!

Mike
