The video from the previous post explains Calmare Therapy in general and shows Dr. D'Amato who is using the treatment on the East Coast.
Here is a video of my doctor in Saint George, Utah on the Calmare Therapy and someone he has treated. It's pretty cool and interesting.

Recently I have had some severe pain days. Nothing less than a five and usually an eight or nine. It's been a bad week and not the happy and pain free Christmas I was hoping for. I've scheduled to go back to Saint George and have some more Calmare treatments done this Friday. I've come to realize that I will probably have to have at least one of these treatments a week for a while, or possibly the rest of my life, to keep my pain down to a manageable number. I was joking with my mom yesterday that I should just buy one of the machines and pull it along behind me:) I almost wish I could do this.
I was listening to a local Christian radio station and they were talking about new years resolutions the other day. I thought to myself what I would want to have as my resolution. The only thing that came to mind was to be healthier and be in no pain. I can't exactly control that so I am at a loss to what mine will be. Nonetheless I will be praying for a happy and pain free new year for everyone with CRPS including myself.
-"Would you dare would you dare to believe
That you still have a reason to sing
Cause the pain that you've been feeling
It can't compare to the joy that's coming
So hold on you gotta wait for the light
Press on and just fight the good fight
Cause the pain that you've been feeling
It's just the dark before the morning"
