If someone had told me which medication regimens worked and what foods to avoid and the best way to combat a flare up when it happens those would have helped me significantly.

Look up materials on neural plasticity, the work of Moskowitz and Golden, go to the Erythromelalgia Warrior site, find support, look into cooling products on Amazon, and stay positive as it affects the brain.

Accept you might struggle with things that other people will not. Don't be afraid to ask for help.

I would not have waited to get help for so long. Mine would have been reversible if someone would have listened early on. I would have them try and figure out why they have EM. I would have found a support group sooner too. I waited years before I did that.

SKIP CLEVELAND CLINIC. THEYRE HORRIBLE. Check out Neil Stuart Prose at duke. He’s been kind. If your EM is triggered by exercise avoid both Mayo and Cleveland pain clinics. Start looking for mobility aids if it’s in your feet.
