Hi Allison and welcome to the group. I'm sorry you suffer from RSD and I am happy you found relief with this treatment. I did go watch the CBS or was it ABC news video on it as I always curious when anyone states they've "found a cure" like this doctor stated.

What concerns me personally is when the reporter had it done and she said it felt like when you give blood, needle draw, but if it works then I guess it would be worth the pain of that, for some.

I wasn't happy at all that they used the terms "CRIPS". I had a newbie doctor following my regular doctor on rounds one day and came into my room saying so your the CRIPS, I looked him directly in the eye and said if you ever say or call me crip again, you will be one, his eyes got so big and my regular doctor smiled so big and said oh yes, she is serious; lesson learned.

But I didn't mean to get off subject, they said in that report that insurance is not covering it yet and that it costs about 3000, did you have to pay this amount?

Please know that I am very interested and I hope my post didn't come off sounding brash, I am in a flare right now so I hesitate to post but felt compelled to.

Again, I am so very very happy this is working for you and I pray it continues to. I'd love to hear more.

Interesting. I have been looking into it. My aunt had it done for trigeminal neuralgia (sp?) and it has really helped her. I know that is not CRPS but I have been thinking it might be worth a try for at least the consult. She told me that you would know in the first appt if it works for you. We will be driving () through the area where it is available and I am seriously considering at least doing the consult.

Thanks for giving your experience.
