Hi all,
I'm absolutely positive that this rash that I have is RSD- connected. In fact, the guy in Las Vegas I mentioned looked at it and said immediately "oh, the RSD rash!" It was the first time that anyone had said it was related to anything, including the dermatologist I go to who called it "dermatitis" - uh duh.
I have been looking for something that will give me relief from the itching the last week and nothing that anyone has prescribed has worked, nor has any "home remedy" like aloe or lemon or none of the others. I just tried alcohol which seems to have had an effect - I haven't scratched (or wanted to) in the past hour! Ah....the small pleasures in life!!

I really understand the balancing act of meds. My oral fentanyl which has been a lifesaver for 10 years or so has stopped being that effective so my PR added dilaudid which used to work well. Now it's when and how often and how much do I take the fentanyl instead of the dilaudid or vice versa or take both at the same time and how much. It's infuriating...even after all this time. You'd think I'd get how to do this by NOW.

Take care everyone and let's pray for a healthier pain- free-er new year!!

Roberta
