I've been considering the SCS for years, so I'm a cluckety cluck too! If I just had a crystal ball, it would make it so much easier.

Well, while I was there he confirmed the RSD diagnosis. He then suggested the SCS and his month long program. When I got the report he made it sound like my RSD was not severe as well. Then exactly why would he think I need this very expensive treatment? So... He might be an acquired taste.
