In Need of Medical Assistance for Full Body RSD

I've got several medical issues including full body RSD. My symptoms are getting harder and harder to deal with. I have a husband and 4 kids (2 still at home)they are in high school and super busy, but they are still super helpful when they're home. I am in need of help even with basic needs but can't afford full time care. Are any of you aware of any options available? I live in FL if that helps.

I am not aware of Floridian options for care, but I also have RSD and have in all 4 extremities but it started on my lower back (where I sustained multiple, severe and permanent spinal injury 23 years ago. It is rare for me to come up on someone else who has it everywhere. God bless you and we are stronger than we ever realized

Mine started in my leg and now it's all over. Was discharged from the military because of it. Doctors said it's was the worse they have ever seen.

There's also this really good tens unit I got off of Amazon that has like 4 different channels. Oh there's also something called Calmare, very rare to find but there's one in Bonita which is very good to have in your state. There's also a procedure that they install electrodes in your body.

One thing that works often for me (intractable pain including some nerve pain) is RSO. It totally saved me about 5 years ago.. I was prescribed fentanyl for 18 years and it was how I was able to ween myself off and helps better w/ my pain
