RSD,

How awful. I hope you sleep today.

When I am exhausted, but cannot seem to rest I find the best thing for me to do is watch TV. There are certain shows that knock me out, like The Tudors, even when I am interested in the storyline. If you can find something that interests you, but is boring, you might find it relaxes you into sleep. Also I forced myself not to use my bed for anything but sleeping.

I overdid it at PT on Wednesday morning and suffered a wringing pain in both legs afterward. It was horrendous, because it ruined my sleep. The only things that helped were heating pads, an electric blanket and TV in my Livingroom. It has been hell dealing with RSD without pain meds. Right now I am having burning, flushing in both hands and arms, as well as in my face. I have been off the nortriptyline for 6 days so I am worried that it isn't the nortriptyline causing this, but maybe the RSD has spread.

I am investigating kratom, but I am hesitant to buy it until I know for certain it does not interact with LDN. Have you tried kratom? The many reports that it helps with pain give me hope.

Did you get a chance to watch the Wim Hof video I posted?
