(All of which is done with the anode is applied to the dominant motor cortex: M1.)
But, when also applied to the dorsolateral pre-frontal cortex - F3 - it has largely restored my verbal fluency, something I assumed I would never see again. So HOORAY FOR THAT!!!

That is awesome news Mike! I am so glad to hear it. I know we all want reduction in the pain but I would say MOST of my improvement has been in the other symptoms of RSD as a result of tDCS. I am just over the moon to hear about the restoration of your verbal fluency...I know that means so much to you. Thanks so much for the update! Take care.
