Answer 1

Hey, me again.

No i don't take any sort of drug anymore.

I was on so many different kinds that they all made me sick and now i can hardly take anything without vomiting...

You had surgery? I know for a fact that that really isn't good for it. Did it make a difference for you at all?

I now get hooked up to a machine (simple and painless) twice a day for 80min treatments each. All it is is little sticky pads that stick in certain spots that send electro pulses through my body. The doctor I see, (Dr. Rhodes in Corpus Christi) used to have RSD and HE PUT HIMSELF IN REMISSION WITH THIS MACHINE! it hasn't started working yet, but this is the only thing i have faith in anymore, and i know it will start working for me.

Well, it has helped a little. My leg is back to normal size and colour, and I got off crutches for the first time since October 13th, 2006 on July 7th 2008, so now i can walk, and my pain level is now an 8/10 instead of a 800000000/10 in my right leg, but i'm starting to have a feeling that im getting it in my left....
