Thank you so much for this, it has helped me understand this a lot more. I have had this for two and a half years, only diagnosed mid last year.Its a shame more Doctors don't understand about this, as i was treated like an idiot, bung on, or worse. Along with many others i bet. So unfair. But then there are Doctors like you.xxx

Great info, too bad it wasn't like a real video, would b more interesting to watch, but I kept it on and did other stuff and just listened. More Drs should listen to this!!

7 years ago I was diagnosed with RSD/CRPS. Put on a high dose of methadone, benzos and countless spinal injections. They numbed my mind, but not the physical pain. I was hopeless. I found Dr Peter Pretzkop in CA at BFC. When I arrived there, my leg was blue, cold, horribly painful and useless. Like my life had become. I am now back! Drug free, and my leg...pink, warm and workin like a champ! There is hope for this distructive pain syndrome. If you suffer, look him up. He sure helped me!

@usagreengirl Any time that a doctor does not provide you with the care you deem proper- always research about the subject and then get other opinions if you believe that there is more that they can do.

Very interesting - even more so, that we're at Children's Hospital Boston they've done not much to manage my (now 16 but 13 at onset) daughter, and this Dr. is from the hospital around the corner! Hopefully this will help move research forward!
