Also my energy level is improving by leaps and bounds. I didn't realize how CRPS had robbed me of energy until I started improving.
I am beginning to wonder if tDCS is reversing the course of the disease since one of the many hallmarks of CRPS progression is decreasing energy levels.
I am zipping around now on my walker. I am getting stronger every day. I know it is only a matter of time before I walk out the door with a cane. My physical therapist has designed an aggressive exercise program for me to follow at home. Yesterday she measured my calf and I have gained one half inch!!!!!
Has anybody come up with an effective tDCS booster schedule?

It is very encouraging to hear that your headaches are gone. For the past year of so (since the RSD got worse) I have been suffering from contast headaches...they are just the norm now it seems. Another thing I suppose I should be keeping an eye out for maybe.
Also great to hear how well you are doing with the walker. Ever since I reached the point where I could use the walker and started to get the strength/endurance back my energy levels have been so much higher. I think a big part of it is the mental boost I get from being able to do things that I couldn't do for months and starting to feel a little more normal. Not that being 28 and needing a walker is particularly normal...but I'm sure you get the idea and know what I am talking about. Keep at it and I am sure you will be able to leave the house with that cane in no time.
