Confused Recently diagnosed w/ RSD

I was diagnosed recently with RSD in my right arm and hand (of course, I am right handed). The prescribed physical therapy is helping increase my range of motion, but I am having ongoing problems with circulation and pain. My neurologist said that he doesn't know what to do for me and I am currently waiting for an appointment in February with an RSD specialist who is 3.5 hours away. It is becoming increasingly difficult emotionally to deal with the pain and the limitations in the things that I am able to do. I have had to drop my hours at work to between 3 & 4 hours (I expect I'll probably be let go soon). The cold is really making things much worse (I live in upstate NY, so it won't be getting much warmer for quite some time...) Can anyone help me with hints on how to help the circulation, deal with the pain, or with the emotional drain? I don't mean to whine, but I am really feeling adrift...
