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.

Hampster,
I believe you would be better served seeing Fugedy. I would not want you to be disappointed with your outcome on Long Island, only to have to spend more money and time for better care. I, myself would not visit the doctor you mentioned.
I believe Fugedy follows up with his patients if protocols do not work. You may want to ask him about this.
Your question regarding tDCS not being used to help more patients is bluntly ignorance perpetuated by greed.
How many pain patients do you think a doctor like Fugedy has to treat with tDCS to equal the implantation of one spinal cord stimulator?
Best of luck to you and your friend. It is a small world indeed!
