Thank you so much for your kind words and helpful advice. I'll definitely try to contact your doctor and the rsd,/crps association in Connecticut. Please check in any time...I know many people don't know what this horrible disease is like. I had 2 c a neurologist, two psychiatrists, and rheumatologist and MY spinal surgeon and pain management specialist. To get the stimulator approved. But I have a 16 year old daughter who needs my 2b as healthy as I can. That's why I chose to get the spinal stimulator, I was like a pain level 10 every day, it saved my hand and got an 80% improvement in pain. God bless
