Hi there,,,, Been reading n rereading your posts. Not a problem. Just having some troubles focusing. Got some really badd news dumped on me today. Grrrr,,,,, not any kind of fun,,,, especially when not able too sleep.  but am going on.  Tired n drained!!!!!!    My dear,,,, I have rsd in rite foot,,, n ankle n rite above ankle..  Empidurals or blocks or whatever u want too call them slowed down the rsd for me. For about ten yrs.  Just had  8 more done. My case is alot different from most others. Pain,,, well,,, drs are great with me. See,,, I have no feelings from waist down.  Yes,,, since moving n having new drs. they are testing too see if feeling is there or not!!!!!  Shocked there is non. Seeing me walk into offices is amazing to them.  They admit that part.  They are great. Making sure that when they do them,,, blocks,,,,, they go in below the pain levels. When something is going wrong in my body pain levels goes up,,,,, all in my buttttt,,,,,,, all pain that I have is in my buttttttttt,,,,, cause of the damage that was done too the sacrum at bottom of the spinal cord.  When those levels goes up I have too start searching for what is going on in my body.  Is alot different from others around. I know is still pain. Also having MS,,, with the rsd is not any fun,,, cause am I going into rsd flare or MS flare or both at same time.  takes a few days or even a week too find outsometimes what n why  things are happening in my body!!!!!!!!!  Hope that this helps too understand what n why things are different for me. Hoping that it explains that is reason I try too help as much as I can. I do not n cannot always identify with what others do go thru. As always tho I can identify with most things.    huggzzz dear one. Annie
