I get muscle spasms in my left calf sometimes. My husband rubs it until it subsides and then I put a heating pad on it. Sometimes I even take an extra percocet (which my dr okay'd) but I try to keep my perc intake to a minimum. I don't sleep much either. I read somewhere that rsd affect a part of our brain that helps us to sleep and causes insomnia. My pyschiatrist prescribes zoloft for anxiety and xanax for depression. That along with my neurontin and percocet seem to help me sleep at least for a little while. (xanax helps relax me and percocet just makes conks me out because its so strong.) I use a heating pad on areas that hurt too, but when my skin burns, I put voltaren gel on. My dr prescribed that too. I felt alone too for the longest time. Even though I have loved ones and drs to help, they don't know what it feels like to have rsd and fibro. That's why I am on this forum. I've met so many people who have this too and have provided such helpful advice and comfort. I know that we have never met, but feel like they are a part of my family now. I need their support and hope that maybe I can help them somehow too. I hope you know that you're not alone either. I'm here and so are many others who care and truly understand. And I hope tomorrow will be better for you. Some days are worse than others, so maybe tomorrow will be better. Maybe try some sleepytime chamomille tea or a warm bath with epsom salts. (I learned about that from my friends on this forum.) And sometimes a funny show helps too. Well I hope you fell better and less lonely and get a peaceful nights sleep tonight. Take care and try to exercise too as much as you can. My dr and family and friends keep telling me that too. That's really important, though I'm sure you already know that. I hope again you feel better soon and I will keep you in my thoughts tonight. You are now another one of my friends on this forum and I consider you part of my family too. So you are not alone anymore. I hope you feel a little better now and have a better night. Take care. P.S. We're not too far away from each other either. I live in Jersey. So that's good to know!
