Guest guest Posted July 20, 2000 Report Share Posted July 20, 2000 Heidemarie, Sorry, I can't help you with that one. I just switched RSD doctors and this one believes that RSD is only in limbs when I have been told I have it in my back, ribcage and head/jaw. So now I have to rethink things. I do know that classically it is known to jump from one side to the other. With this disease pick a doctor and they'll have a different opinion than the last doctor.

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2000 Report Share Posted September 21, 2000 Hi , My name is Tracey. I've had RSD for 3 years now and unfortunately it has spread throughout most of my body. The people in this group are just wonderful and so supportive. I hope you feel at home here.

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2000 Report Share Posted September 21, 2000 Hi , Yes, my hand or leg will get what they term the tremors at times. It is a typical symptom of rsd. Please be careful with taking too much darvocet. It is something you need to address tomorrow. I would suggest some neurontin, and maybe a fentanyl patch. That way if the patch is on you don't take too much, it goes in slowly and is more appropriate for treating rsd pain. Believe me, I know what you are going through I really do, but unfortunately I don't think your medications are appropriate for now. Eventually maybe you can learn self hypnosis too. I find it helps when I am in an episode. I breath deeply and say a poem or prayer. Try it. It certainly can't hurt. Please call in the morning and talk to the doctor about this . I care. Hugs and a pain free minute, Deb Listowner rsd-crpsegroups Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2000 Report Share Posted September 21, 2000 Deb, I am working on the medication change. Thank you for your concern. I have been doing hypnosis and it works. Sometimes its really hard to egt a rpayer going when the pain is severe but I still try. Re: Hello > > Hi , > Yes, my hand or leg will get what they term the tremors at times.

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2000 Report Share Posted September 22, 2000 Hi , I hope you are feeling better. I didn't get your email till this morning as I didn't get on the computer last night. I had to go to the hospital to see my mom who just had a knee replacement surgery. She is doing well though but in a lot of pain. I, too, have been in a lot of pain. I took Darvect at one time but I am now taking a medication called Levo_Dromoran. It helps more than anything else I've tried. Please talk to your doctor and try a different type of pain medication. I know when the pain gets intolerable it's so hard just to get through the days. And then depression sets in. I've had way too much of that lately and cry so often. It's not good. Yes, I do get the shaking hands, too. Your nerves do act up when you are in pain. You are not alone in this, Hon. You need to just fight it best you can and be strong. Believe me, I know it's hard but find at times like this try and find something to distract you a bit. I find reading suspense books really helps me. Let me know how you are doing, okay.
