RSD can be an absolute monster to deal with. The old threads should give you quite a bit of help.

Another thing that I have found helpful in dealing with RSD clients, and folks with different forms of neuropathy, is an aromatherapy based cream from Natural Options..... The man who developed this cream is a certified aromatherapist. He actually developed the cream because of a request from one of his personal friends for help with her RSD.
It is wonderfully helpful in lowering the pain and discomfort for many people w/ those problems.

In case you are interested in it, the website address is: http://www.naturaloptions.us. They do mail orders, internet orders, etc. The gentleman's name is George Cox..... have met him, conversed with him, think he's pretty much on the mark with his products...... there's even a phone number listed for him on the website if you need further information.
