Hi I have to agree with Dubious, Mayo Clinic historically has a very poor attitude towards rsd, in all regards. the basically do not belivie in opiates for pain control. they belieive in pt for curing it. and lets face it as i enter year 7 and have tried every possible cure in the world there is no cure. I have an acquatience who went , he was sufferingwith rsd in one leg, out of work now for 3 years huge depression problems.

they told him to go to a clinic in south fl and get off all the pain meds that was his major problem. and then to start pt.

He tried to to as they said. Oh did he suffer and now he has full body rsd. the reduction of opiates to control his pain allowed opportunistic rsd to spread uncontrolled.
Mayo attitude was very poor when he was there.

Having said all that I guess they have had good sucess with children. But I think that is a whole different ball game.

Having said all that I greatly appreciate the posting of the article as something else seem to work for everyone.

Please dont take this as an attack on posting the information. i just felt compelled due to my friends suffering to post this.

Thanks,
