hi there, I too have rsd in my legs only now, thanks to my great doctor who started ECT about a year ago. I actually had it in all four limbs, feet, ankles.......
It was getting to the point that I could no longer manage a few stairs, or somedays not even leave bed. I got very depressed,, so the doctor decided to try Cymbalta. Oh what a mess that was. If you are bipolar, do not use Cymbalta. I was in the hospital 3 weeks. Not good.
To see me now you could never tell I had RSD unless you spoke to me. I am able to ride my bike, lift weights, go fishing, things I thought were gone for sure. I still take meds, but not like I was, 31 pills a day.
Good things do happen to people, yet some people won't take the step to get there.
Best wishes, Sylvia
