I was recently diagnosed with RSD - not a pleasant disease to have. But have lucked on to a wonderful medical doctor who works almost exclusively with alternative medicine. My RSd developed from a fracture so he started working with natural supplements and injections for osteoporosis. Then started intravenous and injections of B12 and B complex. Now am on ALA and Lion's Mane supplements. The burning has diminished to a point where it is now bearable, and the hypersensitivity is improving regularly. The deep, intense pain have still not been addressed, but my life has really improved. I was unable to endure acupunture (too hypersensitive), but we will try it again in the future. I do meditation, art therapy and aqua therapy for chronic pain as well. There is hope for us, and there are many great support groups out there - please use them.

We really do need info on what to do if someone has this!

Good question, Debi. I'm searching for a friend that has this. IT's a pretty rough disease. Hang in there!

Will vitamin C help if RSD has already been diagnosed? Are there any other options?
