I had a lot of luck with it until a stupid seizure I had in April and then everything went nuts. I have a neurologist and a counselor also. A counselor can help a lot when a person is first diagnosed because I don't know about you but I went from depressed sad to really angry.

That would be my first step. My podiatrist set me up with a pain management dr and a physical therapist who was familiar with RSD because if they aren't they can make things worse. The counselor was just my opinion because mine has helped me immensely, especially with mine going systemic and all the other health issues popping up lately. Anyway, I hope this helps and things get better for you!

I totally identify with how you feel. I was a half marathon runner. Now I have to use a walker or a wheelchair. The hardest part is letting go of who you were and getting used to who you are now. Anyway, I hope this helps!

Message me if you need to talk!
