I also had RSD. I had 10 sympathetic nerve blocks, acupuncture, soft laser treatments and homeopathic therapies. Stop eating chocolate, caffeine, and red meat. They contain neurotoxins which make the pain worse. I was confined to a wheel chair and the disease had spread to my heart and lungs as well as the right side of my body. I am now walking and regaining my strength. I go to weekly therapy with trained PT in RSD. Good luck and God Bless! Some people are able to take medication. I am allergic. Neurontin is supposed to help.
