I am really sorry to hear that neither one of you have seen any improvements with tDCS. I can only imagine your frustration. When I had my first LSB and it didn't help at all I felt totally destroyed inside because it seemed like it was the answer (oh how new I was to RSD). I so hoped that you would both see SOME sort of improvement...whether it was that your were sleeping better, the pain was less, the hypersensitivity was less, flares lasted less time, more time between flares...SOMETHING.

Can I ask what protocols you have tried? Have either of you tried the one that I use or that others have used successfully? I know we are all different and so it likely takes finding just the right fit for their to be improvement...which is frustrating when you are essentially on your own to try and figure it out. Each one needs a good 2-4 weeks too before you can know and many of the best (in my opinion) improvements come after several MONTHS of use...at least that's how it worked for me. But I did see SOMETHING within the first couple weeks of finding the right one for me.

But I guess if RSD had an easy solution that worked for everyone with it then we all would have been cured a long time ago.

If either of you has any questions or even if you just need to vent (about whatever) please feel free to PM me. I can only really tell you about my own experiences since that's all I have to go on...but I am happy to share what I can.

Take care both of you and I hope you find some relief soon. Hugs.
