Guest guest Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 Hi Lin, Calcitonin was for bone loss and possible reduction of pain from bone loss. Within 3 months of RSD (before diagnosis)the x-rays showed an alarming demineralization taking place BEFORE any treatment other than vicodine for pain. Calcitonin is used for bone loss. A nasal version was released a year after I stopped taking it. The side effects of prednisone for me were- moon-face, weight gain. As for liver, etc. nothing shows up at this time. What I a m grappling with is this: My darling " non-legal " husband M. is in the dark about RSD. He has no experience and I don't know if I should push info on him or let him struggle. He is already puzzled because as he said, " I was really worried Sunday but then Monday you were so much better and now you are not so good.... " I just don't know what would be best. Should I try to paint a picture of the worst or let him be with his illusion of how a " normal " illness progesses. Last time my previous husband and I were both in the dark, we were both suffering and crying out for help. This is such a different situation. Any suggestions from experience out there???????????? Okay here goes: How my life has changed. Before this I worked full time, went to the gym 4 to.............. Does that help you at whatever you are grappling with. this all started June 2003, and has steadily gotten worse. So I consider a level 6 pain is good.
