Thanks so much crpsjames & catra: I am friends with deb and she and I are planning a trip to see Dr Fugedy. We also learned about a dr. shneider here on Long Island where we live. I'm waiting to hear from him about his knowledge for pain treatment. His practice treats autism with the tDCS. So we thought he might be able to help us here and we wouldn't have to travel. But, my question was just in general about how you knew the protocols for RSD. If we can learn them from internet why can't we get more docs involved to help all the chronic pain sufferers. Plus I wanted a place to refer to if the protocols we are taught by Dr Fugedy fail. Again thanks so much for your response and I will be in touch often after going to Atlanta.
