Dana,

The best thing for you to do is to find a good Pain Managment DR. even better a good teaching hospital go to there pain Managment dept. I know TX has some great Universities. WOrk on the phone so not to get to frustrated and tired. Stress is one of the biggest triggers with RSD. I have been diagnosed for 3 1/2 years and see a very good NYC DR. It has taken some time but after time I can truly say I feel good and have good and bad days, take very few meds. Currently went back to school because I had to change careers due to my inquiry and actually will be looking for a job come Sept 07. What a difference from 3 1/2 years ago. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Ann
