Tomorrow my son will try transcanial direct current stimulation which is similar to ECT except they use a current 1000 times weaker than in ECT.  He needs to have it done every day for a week and they say it takes 2-3 weeks to know whether it has made a difference.  They are now doing a study on it at Beth Israel in NYC.  If you have RSD in one limb, you can be part of the study.  My son has it in 4 limbs and so does not qualify for the study but can have it as a clinical patient (we have to pay).  I contacted WC to see whether they will pay but they will not pay for anything experimental so I have to see tomorrow just how new this is.  I will update you on the outcome.  ECT seems much more drastic and much more expensive so I hope this smaller current works.  Sylvia, did your insurance pay for the ECT?
