Michelle,  I am so sorry,  What a run around you got.  I hate to say but it's not that unusual.  I have rsd in both of my hands since Nov. 2003.    You say you are on lyrica, awful side effects-I was given that, hated it. I want to tell you to make sure you keep talking to your dr. (through the nurse,I  know) tell him about your problems with the meds.  It took a while, but now I have a dr that listens and responds and I have a combination of meds that lets me function.  I worry about my liver, but so far I haven't seen any signs that there are problems.    I tried a scs trial.  Didn't help. I have had numerous ganglion  shots (dozen one summer with less and less relief). I am watching what is happening with the ketamine trials and all. I don't want to jump in just yet.  When I am having a flare up that nothing will kill, I think that I would like to try anything.    My family is very supportive.  It's nice yours is too.  I assured my kids that this was not inherited.  I do worry that they might have inherited a predisposition for rsd.  My 2nd daughter has such cold hands and feet.    Anyway, I just wanted to say, hang in there.  Keep trying different meds and different combinations of meds to raise the quality of your life.   Heres to a low pain high energy day!  ---what the heck are those?lol |
