It is so nice to see that you are getting better and taking hold of your life, no matter what.

tDCS activates more neurons, so this is why it feels like you have more energy. Your chemical levels of energy are still the same, yet your brain is working at (what people would consider normal speed) overdrive. The good thing is that it is only part of your brain working on overdrive.

Keep up the good work and the cm's,
Steve

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?
